powerpc/pseries/vas: Use QoS credits from the userspace

The user can change the QoS credits dynamically with the
management console interface which notifies OS with sysfs. After
returning from the OS interface successfully, the management
console updates the hypervisor. Since the VAS capabilities in
the hypervisor is not updated when the OS gets the update,
the kernel is using the old total credits value from the
hypervisor. Fix this issue by using the new QoS credits
from the userspace instead of depending on VAS capabilities
from the hypervisor.

powerpc/pseries/vas: use default_groups in kobj_type

There are currently 2 ways to create a set of sysfs files for a
kobj_type, through the default_attrs field, and the default_groups
field. Move the pseries vas sysfs code to use default_groups field
which has been the preferred way since aa30f47cf666 ("kobject: Add
support for default attribute groups to kobj_type") so that we can soon
get rid of the obsolete default_attrs field.

powerpc/pseries/vas: Add 'update_total_credits' entry for QoS capabilities

pseries supports two types of credits - Default (uses normal priority
FIFO) and Qality of service (QoS uses high priority FIFO). The user
decides the number of QoS credits and sets this value with HMC
interface. The total credits for QoS capabilities can be changed
dynamically with HMC interface which invokes drmgr to communicate
to the kernel.

This patch creats 'update_total_credits' entry for QoS capabilities
so that drmgr command can write the new target QoS credits in sysfs.
Instead of using this value, the kernel gets the new QoS capabilities
from the hypervisor whenever update_total_credits is updated to make
sure sync with the QoS target credits in the hypervisor.

powerpc/pseries/vas: sysfs interface to export capabilities

The hypervisor provides the available VAS GZIP capabilities such
as default or QoS window type and the target available credits in
each type. This patch creates sysfs entries and exports the target,
used and the available credits for each feature.

This interface can be used by the user space to determine the credits
usage or to set the target credits in the case of QoS type (for DLPAR).

/sys/devices/vas/vas0/gzip/default_capabilities (default GZIP capabilities)
nr_total_credits /* Total credits available. Can be
/* changed with DLPAR operation */
nr_used_credits /* Used credits */

/sys/devices/vas/vas0/gzip/qos_capabilities (QoS GZIP capabilities)
nr_total_credits
nr_used_credits
