[POWERPC] spufs: Add infrastructure needed for gang scheduling

Add the concept of a gang to spufs as a new type of object.
So far, this has no impact whatsover on scheduling, but makes
it possible to add that later.

A new type of object in spufs is now a spu_gang. It is created
with the spu_create system call with the flags argument set
to SPU_CREATE_GANG (0x2). Inside of a spu_gang, it
is then possible to create spu_context objects, which until
now was only possible at the root of spufs.

There is a new member in struct spu_context pointing to
the spu_gang it belongs to, if any. The spu_gang maintains
a list of spu_context structures that are its children.
This information can then be used in the scheduler in the
future.

There is still a bug that needs to be resolved in this
basic infrastructure regarding the order in which objects
are removed. When the spu_gang file descriptor is closed
before the spu_context descriptors, we leak the dentry
and inode for the gang. Any ideas how to cleanly solve
this are appreciated.
