powerpc/time: Only set CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SCALED_CPUTIME on PPC64
scaled cputime is only meaningfull when the processor has
SPURR and/or PURR, which means only on PPC64.
Removing it on PPC32 significantly reduces the size of
vtime_account_system() and vtime_account_idle() on an 8xx:
Before:
00000000 l     F .text	000000a8 vtime_delta
00000280 g     F .text	0000010c vtime_account_system
0000038c g     F .text	00000048 vtime_account_idle
After:
(vtime_delta gets inlined inside the two functions)
000001d8 g     F .text	000000a0 vtime_account_system
00000278 g     F .text	00000038 vtime_account_idle
In terms of performance, we also get approximatly 7% improvement on
task switch. The following small benchmark app is run with perf stat:
void *thread(void *arg)
{
	int i;
	for (i = 0; i < atoi((char*)arg); i++)
		pthread_yield();
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	pthread_t th1, th2;
	pthread_create(&th1, NULL, thread, argv[1]);
	pthread_create(&th2, NULL, thread, argv[1]);
	pthread_join(th1, NULL);
	pthread_join(th2, NULL);
	return 0;
}
Before the patch:
