[PATCH 11/26] KVM: PPC: Book3S PR: prevent TS bits change in kvmppc_interrupt_pr()

From: Simon Guo <wei.guo.simon at gmail.com>

PR KVM host usually equipped with enabled TM in its host MSR value, and
with non-transactional TS value.

When a guest with TM active traps into PR KVM host, the rfid at the
tail of kvmppc_interrupt_pr() will try to switch TS bits from
S0 (Suspended & TM disabled) to N1 (Non-transactional & TM enabled).

That will leads to TM Bad Thing interrupt.

This patch manually sets target TS bits unchanged to avoid this
exception.
