powerpc/pseries/iommu: Separate FW_FEATURE_MULTITCE to put/stuff features
H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT allows packing up to 512 TCE updates into a single hypercall; H_STUFF_TCE can clear lots in a single hypercall too. However, unlike H_STUFF_TCE (which writes the same TCE to all entries), H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT uses a 4K page with new TCEs. In a secure VM environment this means sharing a secure VM page with a hypervisor which we would rather avoid. This splits the FW_FEATURE_MULTITCE feature into FW_FEATURE_PUT_TCE_IND and FW_FEATURE_STUFF_TCE. "hcall-multi-tce" in the "/rtas/ibm,hypertas-functions" device tree property sets both; the "multitce=off" kernel command line parameter disables both. This should not cause behavioural change.
