powerpc/pseries: Add kernel parameter to disable batched hcalls
This introduces a pair of kernel parameters that can be used to disable
the MULTITCE and BULK_REMOVE h-calls.
By default, those hcalls are enabled, active, and good for throughput
and performance. The ability to disable them will be useful for some of
the PREEMPT_RT related investigation and work occurring on Power.
