Add support for H_SCM_HEALTH hcall described at [1] for spapr
nvdimms. This enables guest to detect the 'unarmed' status of a
specific spapr nvdimm identified by its DRC and if its unarmed, mark
the region backed by the nvdimm as read-only.
The patch adds h_scm_health() to handle the H_SCM_HEALTH hcall which
returns two 64-bit bitmaps (health bitmap, health bitmap mask) derived
from 'struct nvdimm->unarmed' member.
Linux kernel side changes to enable handling of 'unarmed' nvdimms for
ppc64 are proposed at [2].
