powerpc: Keep track of emulated instructions

If CONFIG_PPC_EMULATED_STATS is enabled, make available counters for the
various classes of emulated instructions under
/sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/emulated_instructions/ (assumed debugfs is mounted on
/sys/kernel/debug).  Optionally (controlled by
/sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/emulated_instructions/do_warn), rate-limited warnings
can be printed to the console when instructions are emulated.
