[POWERPC] Update wait_state_cycles in the VPA
The hypervisor can look at the value in the wait_state_cycles field of the VPA for an estimate of how busy dedicated processors are. Currently, as the kernel never touches this field, we appear to be 100% busy. This records the duration the kernel is in powersave and passes that to the HV to provide a reasonable indication of utilisation.
