[PATCH] KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Treat unrecognized TM instructions as illegal

On P9 DD2.2 due to a CPU defect some TM instructions need to be emulated by
KVM. This is handled at first by the hardware raising a softpatch interrupt
when certain TM instructions that need KVM assistance are executed in the
guest. Some TM instructions, although not defined in the Power ISA, might
raise a softpatch interrupt. For instance, 'tresume.' instruction as
defined in the ISA must have bit 31 set (1), but an instruction that
matches 'tresume.' OP and XO opcodes but has bit 31 not set (0), like
0x7cfe9ddc, also raises a softpatch interrupt, for example, if a code
like the following is executed in the guest it will raise a softpatch
interrupt just like a 'tresume.' when the TM facility is enabled:

int main() { asm("tabort. 0; .long 0x7cfe9ddc;"); }

Currently in such a case KVM throws a complete trace like the following:

and then treats the executed instruction as 'nop' whilst it should actually
be treated as an illegal instruction since it's not defined by the ISA.

This commit changes the handling of the case above by treating the
unrecognized TM instructions that can raise a softpatch but are not
defined in the ISA as illegal ones instead of as 'nop' and by gently
reporting it to the host instead of throwing a trace.
