ppc/pnv: Clarify how the TIMA is accessed on a multichip system

The TIMA region gives access to the thread interrupt context registers
of a CPU. It is mapped at the same address on all chips and can be
accessed by any CPU of the system. To identify the chip from which the
access is being done, the PowerBUS uses a 'chip' field in the
load/store messages. QEMU does not model these messages, instead, we
extract the chip id from the CPU PIR and do a lookup at the machine
level to fetch the targeted interrupt controller.

Introduce pnv_get_chip() and pnv_xive_tm_get_xive() helpers to clarify
this process in pnv_xive_get_tctx(). The latter will be removed in the
subsequent patches but the same principle will be kept.
