Add new return code to rtas_flash to indicate firmware entitlement

What's the point of that patch ? It adds a definition to a private .c
file not exposed to user space and doesn't do anything with it ...
This is to keep our code in sync with PAPR. And when we get this return
code from "ibm,validate-flash-image" RTAS call, user space tools (update_flash)
reads output buffer via /proc interface to display appropriate message to user.
