ppc/xive2: Use fair irq target search algorithm
The current xive algorithm for finding a matching group vCPU
target always uses the first vCPU found.  And, since it always
starts the search with thread 0 of a core, thread 0 is almost
always used to handle group interrupts.  This can lead to additional
interrupt latency and poor performance for interrupt intensive
work loads.

Changing this to use a simple round-robin algorithm for deciding which
thread number to use when starting a search, which leads to a more
distributed use of threads for handling group interrupts.

[npiggin: Also round-robin among threads, not just cores]
