The device-tree property no-need-store-drain-on-priv-state-switch is
equivalent to H_CPU_BEHAV_NO_STF_BARRIER from the
H_CPU_GET_CHARACTERISTICS hcall on pseries.

Since commit 84ed26fd00c5 ("powerpc/security: Add a security feature for
STF barrier") powernv systems with this device-tree property have been
enabling the STF barrier when they have no need for it.  This patch
fixes this by clearing the STF barrier feature on those systems.
