pseries/plpks: add HCALLs for PKWM wrapping key life cycle management

This commit implements the H_PKS_REVOKE_OBJECT, H_PKS_UNREVOKE_OBJECT, and
H_PKS_GET_OBJECTLABELS hypervisor calls in the pseries PLPKS driver to
support revoking, unrevoking, deleting, and listing PKWM wrapping keys.

[Severity: Low]
Are the first two output fields for H_PKS_GET_OBJECTLABELS in
Documentation/arch/powerpc/papr_hcalls.rst swapped relative to the output
registers read in plpks_get_object_labels()?

In Documentation/arch/powerpc/papr_hcalls.rst, the Out field lists output
registers in order starting from r4 (retbuf[0]) and r5 (retbuf[1]), which
here places continue-token before the number of object labels.

However, in arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/plpks.c:plpks_get_object_labels(),
retbuf[0] is read as labels_count and retbuf[1] is read as continuetoken:

    continuetoken = retbuf[1];

    labels_count = retbuf[0];

[Severity: Medium]
Can plpks_is_wrapping_key_revoked() evaluate a stale var->policy when
H_PKS_READ_OBJECT fails with H_AUTHORITY and retbuf[1] is 0, or overwrite
var->datalen and var->data if H_PKS_READ_OBJECT succeeds?

In arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/plpks.c:plpks_read_var(), when
H_PKS_READ_OBJECT returns H_AUTHORITY (mapped to -EPERM), var->policy is only
updated if retbuf[1] is non-zero:

    if (rc != H_SUCCESS) {
        rc = pseries_status_to_err(rc);
        if (rc != -EPERM || !retbuf[1])
            goto out_free_output;
        goto out_copy_policy;
    }

Because plpks_is_wrapping_key_revoked() does not zero var->policy before
calling plpks_read_var(), an H_AUTHORITY failure with retbuf[1] == 0 leaves
var->policy untouched and plpks_is_wrapping_key_revoked() then checks the
pre-existing value in var->policy.

In the subsequent commit "pseries/plpks/wrapkey: expose PKWM wrapping key
management to userspace via sysfs", list_key_labels() defines a single
struct plpks_var var = {0} outside the loop and calls
plpks_is_wrapping_key_revoked(&var) across all labels without resetting
var.policy between iterations. Once an earlier iteration populates var.policy
with PLPKS_WRAPPINGKEY, any later iteration where H_PKS_READ_OBJECT returns
H_AUTHORITY with retbuf[1] == 0 will inspect the previous key's var.policy
and return 0 or 1 instead of -EPERM. The same happens if a caller of
plpks_is_wrapping_key_revoked() or plpks_del_wrapping_key() passes a
struct plpks_var with PLPKS_WRAPPINGKEY already set in var->policy.

Additionally, if H_PKS_READ_OBJECT unexpectedly succeeds on a readable
object, plpks_read_var() will overwrite var->datalen and copy into var->data
(if non-NULL) before plpks_is_wrapping_key_revoked() returns -EIO.
