hwmon: (ibmpowernv) do not use the OPAL index for hwmon attribute names

The current OPAL firmware exposes the different sensors of an IBM Power
system using node names such as :

	sensors/amb-temp#1-data
	sensors/amb-temp#1-thrs
	cooling-fan#1-data
	cooling-fan#1-faulted
	cooling-fan#1-thrs
	cooling-fan#2-data
	...

The ibmpowernv driver, when loaded, parses these names to extract the
sensor index and the sensor attribute name. Unfortunately, this scheme
makes it difficult to add sensors with a different layout (specially of
the same type, like temperature) as the sensor index calculated in OPAL
is directly used in the hwmon sysfs interface.

What this patch does is add a independent hwmon index for each sensor.
The increment of the hwmon index (temp, fan, power, etc.) is kept per
sensor type in the sensor_group table. The sensor_data table is used
to store the association of the hwmon and OPAL indexes, as we need to
have the same hwmon index for different attributes of a same sensor.
