powerpc/64s: Add dt_cpu_ftrs boot time setup option

Browse Source 
Provide a dt_cpu_ftrs= cmdline option to disable the dt_cpu_ftrs CPU
feature discovery, and fall back to the "cputable" based version.

Also allow control of advertising unknown features to userspace and
with this parameter, and remove the clunky CONFIG option.

Control how the dt_cpu_ftrs device-tree binding is
used for CPU feature discovery and setup (if it
exists).
off: Do not use it, fall back to legacy cpu table.
known: Do not pass through unknown features to guests
or userspace, only those that the kernel is aware of.
