[PATCH 1/2] KVM: PPC: Book3S PR: Disable SCV when running AIL is disabled

PR KVM does not support running with AIL enabled, and SCV does is not
supported with AIL disabled.

Fix this by ensuring the SCV facility is disabled with FSCR while a
CPU can be running with AIL=0. PowerNV host supports disabling AIL on a
per-CPU basis, so SCV just needs to be disabled when a vCPU is run.

The pSeries machine can only switch AIL on a system-wide basis, so it
must disable SCV support at boot if the configuration can potentially
run a PR KVM guest.

SCV is not emulated for the PR guest at the moment, this just fixes the
host crashes.

Alternatives considered and rejected:
- SCV support can not be disabled by PR KVM after boot, because it is
  advertised to userspace with HWCAP.
- AIL can not be disabled on a per-CPU basis. At least when running on
  pseries it is a per-LPAR setting.
- Support for real-mode SCV vectors will not be added because they are
  at 0x17000 so making such a large fixed head space causes immediate
  value limits to be exceeded, requiring a lot rework and more code.
- Disabling SCV for any PR KVM possible kernel will cause a slowdown
  when not using PR KVM.
- A boot time option to disable SCV to use PR KVM is user-hostile.
- System call instruction emulation for SCV facility unavailable
  instructions is too complex and old emulation code was subtly broken
  and removed.
