[PATCH v3] KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: lockless tlbie for HPT hcalls

tlbies to an LPAR do not have to be serialised since POWER4/PPC970,
after which the MMU_FTR_LOCKLESS_TLBIE feature was introduced to
avoid tlbie locking.
Since commit c17b98cf6028 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Remove code for
PPC970 processors"), KVM no longer supports processors that do not
have this feature, so the tlbie locking can be removed completely.
A sanity check for the feature is put in kvmppc_mmu_hv_init.
Testing was done on a POWER9 system in HPT mode, with a -smp 32 guest
in HPT mode. 32 instances of the powerpc fork benchmark from selftests
were run with --fork, and the results measured.
Without this patch, total throughput was about 13.5K/sec, and this is
the top of the host profile:
74.52% [k] do_tlbies
2.95% [k] kvmppc_book3s_hv_page_fault
1.80% [k] calc_checksum
1.80% [k] kvmppc_vcpu_run_hv
1.49% [k] kvmppc_run_core
After this patch, throughput was about 51K/sec, with this profile:
21.28% [k] do_tlbies
5.26% [k] kvmppc_run_core
4.88% [k] kvmppc_book3s_hv_page_fault
3.30% [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
3.25% [k] gup_pgd_range
