powerpc: Convert RTAS event scan from kernel thread to workqueue

RTAS event scan has to run across all cpus. Right now we use a kernel
thread and set_cpus_allowed but in doing so we wake up the previous cpu
unnecessarily.

Some ftrace output shows this:

previous cpu (2):
[002]  7.022331: sched_switch: task swapper:0 [140] ==> rtasd:194 [120]
[002]  7.022338: sched_switch: task rtasd:194 [120] ==> migration/2:9 [0]
[002]  7.022344: sched_switch: task migration/2:9 [0] ==> swapper:0 [140]

next cpu (3):
[003]  7.022345: sched_switch: task swapper:0 [140] ==> rtasd:194 [120]
[003]  7.022371: sched_switch: task rtasd:194 [120] ==> swapper:0 [140]

We can use schedule_delayed_work_on and avoid the unnecessary wakeup.
