3d8757b87d s390/sthyi: add s390_sthyi system call
Add a syscall of s390_sthyi to implement STHYI instruction in LPAR
which reuses the implementation for KVM by Janosch Frank -
commit 95ca2cb579 ("KVM: s390: Add sthyi emulation").

STHYI(Store Hypervisor Information) is an emulated z/VM instruction that
provides a guest with basic information about the layers it is running
on. This includes information about the cpu configuration of both the
machine and the lpar, as well as their names, machine model and
machine type. This information enables an application to determine the
maximum capacity of CPs and IFLs available to software.

For the arguments of s390_sthyi, code shall be 0 and flags is reserved for
future use, info is the output argument to store the required hypervisor
info.

9fb6c9b3fe s390/sthyi: add cache to store hypervisor info
STHYI requires extensive locking in the higher hypervisors and is
very computational/memory expensive. Therefore we cache the retrieved
hypervisor info whose valid period is 1s with mutex to allow concurrent
access. rw semaphore can't benefit here due to cache line bounce.

b7c92f1a4e s390/sthyi: reorganize sthyi implementation
As we need to support sthyi instruction on LPAR too, move the common code
to kernel part and kvm related code to intercept.c for better reuse.
