topology/sysfs: Add PPIN in sysfs under cpu topology
PPIN is the Protected Processor Identification Number. This is used to identify the socket as a Field Replaceable Unit (FRU). Existing code only displays this when reporting errors. But this makes it inconvenient for large clusters to use it for its intended purpose of inventory control. Add ppin to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/topology to make what is already available using RDMSR more easily accessible. Make the file read only for root in case there are still people concerned about making a unique system "serial number" available.
