powerpc/rtas: mandate RTAS syscall filtering

Browse Source 
CONFIG_PPC_RTAS_FILTER has been optional but default-enabled since its
introduction. It's been enabled in enterprise distro kernels for a
while without causing ABI breakage that wasn't easily fixed, and it
prevents harmful abuses of the rtas syscall.

Let's make it unconditional.
