[POWERPC] spusched: Switch from workqueues to kthread + timer tick

Get rid of the scheduler workqueues that complicated things a lot to
a dedicated spu scheduler thread that gets woken by a traditional
scheduler tick.  By default this scheduler tick runs a HZ * 10, aka
one spu scheduler tick for every 10 cpu ticks.

Currently the tick is not disabled when we have less context than
available spus, but I will implement this later.
