powerpc: enable dynamic preemption

Once the lazy preemption is supported, it would be desirable to change
the preemption models at runtime. So add support for dynamic preemption
using DYNAMIC_KEY.

::Tested lightly on Power10 LPAR
Performance numbers indicate that, preempt=none(no dynamic) and
preempt=none(dynamic) are close.
