Achin Gupta 75f7367b4c psci: fix affinity level upgrade issue
The psci implementation does not track target affinity level requests
specified during cpu_suspend calls correctly as per the following
example.

1. cpu0.cluster0 calls cpu_suspend with the target affinity level as 0
2. Only the cpu0.cluster0 is powered down while cluster0 remains
   powered up
3. cpu1.cluster0 calls cpu_off to power itself down to highest
   possible affinity level
4. cluster0 will be powered off even though cpu0.cluster0 does not
   allow cluster shutdown

This patch introduces reference counts at affinity levels > 0 to track
the number of cpus which want an affinity instance at level X to
remain powered up. This instance can be turned off only if its
reference count is 0. Cpus still undergo the normal state transitions
(ON, OFF, ON_PENDING, SUSPEND) but the higher levels can only be
either ON or OFF depending upon their reference count.

The above issue is thus fixed as follows:

1. cluster0's reference count is incremented by two when cpu0 and cpu1
   are initially powered on.

2. cpu0.cluster0 calls cpu_suspend with the target affinity level as
   0. This does not affect the cluster0 reference count.

3. Only the cpu0.cluster0 is powered down while cluster0 remains
   powered up as it has a non-zero reference count.

4. cpu1.cluster0 call cpu_off to power itself down to highest possible
   affinity level. This decrements the cluster0 reference count.

5. cluster0 is still not powered off since its reference count will at
   least be 1 due to the restriction placed by cpu0.
