[PATCH 2/2] spapr: Better handling of ibm,pa-features TM bit

From: Anton Blanchard <anton at samba.org>

There are a few issues with our handling of the ibm,pa-features
TM bit:

- We don't support transactional memory in PR KVM, so don't tell
  the OS that we do.

- In full emulation we have a minimal implementation of TM that always
  fails, so for performance reasons lets not tell the OS that we
  support it either.

- In HV KVM mode, we should mirror the host TM enabled state by
  looking at the AT_HWCAP2 bit.
