powerpc/xive: Map one IPI interrupt per node

ipistorm [*] can be used to benchmark the raw interrupt rate of an
interrupt controller by measuring the number of IPIs a system can
sustain. When applied to the XIVE interrupt controller of POWER9 and
POWER10 systems, a significant drop of the interrupt rate can be
observed when crossing the second node boundary.

This is due to the fact that a single IPI interrupt is used for all
CPUs of the system. The structure is shared and the cache line updates
impact greatly the traffic between nodes and the overall IPI
performance.

As a workaround, the impact can be reduced by deactivating the IRQ
lockup detector ("noirqdebug") which does a lot of accounting in the
Linux IRQ descriptor structure and is responsible for most of the
performance penalty.

As a fix, this proposal allocates an IPI interrupt per node, to be
shared by all CPUs of that node. It solves the scaling issue, the IRQ
lockup detector still has an impact but the XIVE interrupt rate scales
linearly. It also improves the "noirqdebug" case as showed in the
tables below.
