linux: remove powerpc device-tree parsing

It's disabled by default since 6608c48 in 2.1.
No problem reported, let's remove it entirely.

This code was contributed by Alexey Kardashevskiy from IBM in 2010/09 (hwloc 1.1)
when the Linux kernel on powerpc didn't use the device-tree to discover
cores/caches and expose them in sysfs. This was fixed in 2.6.29 in 2009
(93197a36a9c16a85fb24cf5a8639f7bf9af838a3) which is deployed everywhere now.

I've seen some POWER9 with buggy package information,
but this is not covered by our DT code.
