powerpc/pseries: Fix dedicated processor partition detection
commit f13c13a00512 (powerpc: Stop using non-architected shared_proc field in lppaca) fixed a potential issue with shared/dedicated partition detection. The old method of detection relied on an unarchitected field (shared_proc), and this patch switched to using something architected (a non zero yield_count). Unfortunately the assertion in the Linux header that yield_count is only non zero on shared processor partitions is not true. It turns out dedicated processor partitions can increment yield_count and as such we falsely detect dedicated partitions as shared. Fix the comment, and switch back to using the old method.
