KVM: PPC: Enable CAP_SPAPR_TCE_VFIO on pSeries KVM guests

Browse Source 
commit b4392813bbc3b05fc01a33c64d8b8c6c62c32cfa upstream.

Currently on book3s-hv, the capability KVM_CAP_SPAPR_TCE_VFIO is only
available for KVM Guests running on PowerNV and not for the KVM guests
running on pSeries hypervisors. This prevents a pSeries L2 guest from
leveraging the in-kernel acceleration for H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT and
H_STUFF_TCE hcalls that results in slow startup times for large memory
guests.

Support for VFIO on pSeries was restored in commit f431a8cde7
("powerpc/iommu: Reimplement the iommu_table_group_ops for pSeries"),
making it possible to re-enable this capability on pSeries hosts.

This change enables KVM_CAP_SPAPR_TCE_VFIO for nested PAPR guests on
pSeries, while maintaining the existing behavior on PowerNV. Booting an
L2 guest with 128GB of memory shows an average 11% improvement in
startup time.
