We need the SPRN_TIDR to be set for use with fast thread-wakeup (core-
to-core wakeup) and also with CAPI.
Each thread in a process needs to have a unique id within the process.
But as explained below, for now, we assign globally unique thread ids
to all threads in the system.

Changelog[v3]
- Merge changes with and address comments to Christophe's patch.
(i.e drop CONFIG_PPC_VAS; use CONFIG_PPC64; check CPU_ARCH_300
before setting TIDR). Defer following to separate patches:
- emulation parts of Christophe's patch,
- setting TIDR for tasks other than 'current'
- setting feature bit in AT_HWCAP2
Changelog[v2]
- Michael Ellerman: Use an interface to assign TIDR so it is
assigned to only threads that need it; move assignment to
restore_sprs(). Drop lint from rebase;

+ * We need to assign a unique thread id to each thread in a process.
+ *
+ * This thread id, referred to as TIDR, and separate from the Linux's tgid,
+ * is intended to be used to direct an ASB_Notify from the hardware to the
+ * thread, when a suitable event occurs in the system.
+ *
+ * One such event is a "paste" instruction in the context of Fast Thread
+ * Wakeup (aka Core-to-core wake up in the Virtual Accelerator Switchboard
+ * (VAS) in POWER9.
+ *
+ * To get a unique TIDR per process we could simply reuse task_pid_nr() but
+ * the problem is that task_pid_nr() is not yet available copy_thread() is
+ * called. Fixing that would require changing more intrusive arch-neutral
+ * code in code path in copy_process()?.
+ *
+ * Further, to assign unique TIDRs within each process, we need an atomic
+ * field (or an IDR) in task_struct, which again intrudes into the arch-
+ * neutral code. So try to assign globally unique TIDRs for now.
+ *
+ * NOTE: TIDR 0 indicates that the thread does not need a TIDR value.
+ * For now, only threads that expect to be notified by the VAS
+ * hardware need a TIDR value and we assign values > 0 for those.
