[PATCH] powerpc/pseries: Fix xive=off command line

On POWER9, if the hypervisor supports XIVE exploitation mode, the guest OS
will unconditionally requests for the XIVE interrupt mode even if XIVE was
deactivated with the kernel command line xive=off. Later on, when the spapr
XIVE init code handles xive=off, it disables XIVE and tries to fall back on
the legacy mode XICS.

This discrepency causes a kernel panic because the hypervisor is configured
to provide the XIVE interrupt mode to the guest :

Look for xive=off during prom_init and don't ask for XIVE in this case. One
exception though: if the host only supports XIVE, we still want to boot so
we ignore xive=off.

Similarly, have the spapr XIVE init code to looking at the interrupt mode
negociated during CAS, and ignore xive=off if the hypervisor only supports
XIVE.

eac1e731b59e is a v4.16 commit actually but this patch only applies
cleanly to v4.20 and newer. If needed I can send a backport for
older versions.
