[PATCH] powerpc/kvm: Fix guest boot issue DAWR cpu feature

SLOF check the 'sc 1' support by issuing a hcall with H_SET_DABR. With
recent patch to make the hcall return H_UNSUPPORTED, we get guest boot
failures. SLOF can work with the hcall failure H_HARDWARE for the above
hcall. Switch the return value to H_HARDWARE instead of H_UNSUPPORTED so that
we don't break the guest boot.

Fixes: e8ebedbf ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Return error from h_set_dabr() on POWER9")
