powerpc/pseries: Pass PLPKS password on kexec



Before interacting with the PLPKS, we ask the hypervisor to generate a
password for the current boot, which is then required for most further
PLPKS operations.

If we kexec into a new kernel, the new kernel will try and fail to
generate a new password, as the password has already been set.

Pass the password through to the new kernel via the device tree, in
/chosen/ibm,plpks-pw. Check for the presence of this property before
trying to generate a new password - if it exists, use the existing
password and remove it from the device tree.

This only works with the kexec_file_load() syscall, not the older
kexec_load() syscall, however if you're using Secure Boot then you want
to be using kexec_file_load() anyway.
