Thomas Fleury 034e23c197 gpu: nvgpu: add gpu_powered_on sysfs ...

Add sysfs to indicate if GPU has ever been powered on.
This allows an application to avoid booting dGPU, when there is no
need for it. For instance the fan controller can check this value,
and refrain from booting the GPU, only to check the temperature.
This will save power, and also avoid locking some registers which
currently prevent from using VBIOS update tool.
