[PATCH] KVM: PPC: Book3S PR: Do not always inject facility unavailable exceptions

KVM should not inject a facility unavailable exception into the guest
when it tries to execute a mtspr/mfspr instruction for an SPR that
is unavailable, and the vCPU is *not* running in PRoblem state.

It's right that we inject an exception when the vCPU is in PR mode, since
chapter "6.2.10 Facility Status and Control Register" of the PowerISA
v2.07 says that "When the FSCR makes a facility unavailable, attempted
usage of the facility in *problem state* is treated as follows: [...]
Access of an SPR using mfspr/mtspr causes a Facility Unavailable
interrupt". But if the guest vCPU is not in PR mode, we should follow
the behavior that is described in chapter "4.4.4 Move To/From System
Register Instructions" instead and treat the instruction as a NOP.
