powerpc: Remove flag CTLFLAG_TUN from sysctl knob hw.platform

Prior to change [1] this flag is useless but harmless. After the change
plat_name[] will be fetched from kernel environment after invoking the
platform probe function `platform_probe_and_attach()`. The probe function
runs at early boot stage prior to `mi_startup()` thus it is too late and
pointless to set plat_name[] after the probe.

Nathan mentioned that the logic to specify the platform pre-dates the
powerpc64 work, and is from the original pre-FDT Book-E bringup from
like 2008, so it's irrelevant these days. Instead of fixing setting the
sysctl knob hw.platform, let's clean it up now.
