[v3,7/7] spapr: consolidate the logic of core cpu_dt_id

POWER5 and newer cpus from IBM have a specific numbering scheme for
DT ids. This is currently open coded in several places.

This patch consolidates the logic in helpers.

This seems backwards to me.  I think we should be constructing the
vcpu ids from the core id, not the other way around.  Doing things
that way will take a bit longer, but this seems like execessive work
as an interim cleanup until it's obsoleted by core based numbering.

Just to be sure: you're talking about the spapr_dt_id_to_*_index() helpers ?

I agree this patch isn't needed anyway, especially if the numbering is about to
evolve. I'll drop this patch in v4.
