powerpc/vphn: parsing code rewrite

The current VPHN parsing logic has some flaws that this patch aims to fix:

1) when the value 0xffff is read, the value 0xffffffff gets added to the
   the output list and its element count isn't incremented. This is wrong.
   According to PAPR+ the domain identifiers are packed into a sequence
   terminated by the "reserved value of all ones". This means that 0xffff
   is a stream terminator.

2) the combination of byteswaps and casts make the code hardly readable.
   Let's parse the stream one 16-bit field at a time instead.

3) it is assumed that the hypercall returns 12 32-bit values packed into
   6 64-bit registers. According to PAPR+, the domain identifiers may be
   streamed as 16-bit values. Let's increase the number of expected numbers
   to 24.
