[PATCH v5 1/5] powerpc/sstep: Emulate prefixed instructions only when CPU_FTR_ARCH_31 is set

From: Balamuruhan S <bala24 at linux.ibm.com>

Unconditional emulation of prefixed instructions will allow
emulation of them on Power10 predecessors which might cause
issues. Restrict that.

Fixes: 3920742b92f5 ("powerpc sstep: Add support for prefixed fixed-point arithmetic")
Fixes: 50b80a12e4cc ("powerpc sstep: Add support for prefixed load/stores")
