Subject: [PATCH v2] powerpc/pseries: read the lpar name from the firmware

The LPAR name may be changed after the LPAR has been started in the HMC.
In that case lparstat command is not reporting the updated value because it
reads it from the device tree which is read at boot time.

However this value could be read from RTAS.

Adding this value in the /proc/powerpc/lparcfg output allows to read the
updated value.

v2:
 address Nathan's comments.
 change title to partition_name aligning with existing partition_id
