ibmveth: Add MQ RX hypercall wrappers and call definitions

This adds the PHYP call IDs for H_REG_LOGICAL_LAN_QUEUE,
H_ADD_LOGICAL_LAN_BUFFERS_QUEUE and H_FREE_LOGICAL_LAN_QUEUE, raising
MAX_HCALL_OPCODE accordingly, and adds matching static inline wrappers in
ibmveth.h.  It is plumbing only, with no runtime behaviour change until a
later commit enables multi_queue.

[Severity: Low]
This isn't a bug, but do these two kernel-doc blocks in the same header
contradict each other about which handles are valid here?

h_add_logical_lan_buffers_queue() is documented as "Add buffers to
subordinate queue" with "@queue_handle: Queue handle from
h_register_logical_lan_queue()", while h_register_logical_lan_with_handle()
below says its queue 0 handle:

 * Registers the primary receive queue (queue 0) with the hypervisor and
 * returns the queue handle. This is needed in multi-queue mode to use
 * h_add_logical_lan_buffers_queue() for all queues including queue 0.

By the end of the series the second wording is the one that matches the
code: ibmveth_add_logical_lan_buffers() in
drivers/net/ethernet/ibm/ibmveth.c passes
adapter->queue_handle[queue_index] for every index, queue_index == 0
included, and that handle comes from h_register_logical_lan_with_handle().

Would it be clearer to widen the add-buffers kdoc to say the handle may
come from either h_register_logical_lan_queue() or
h_register_logical_lan_with_handle(), so a future caller doesn't conclude
queue 0 must use the legacy buffer hcalls?

Cross-instance finding from sashiko-gemini (34d1289184ae332db8c101e251d3dec96e9969f2e8dee8d98c3efff05039c9d0):
[Severity: High]
Calling plpar_hcall9() with missing arguments causes an out-of-bounds stack read, leaking uninitialized kernel stack memory to the hypervisor.
