When doing nested virtualization, it is only necessary to do the transactional memory hypervisor assist at level 0, that is, when we are in hypervisor mode. Nested hypervisors can just use the TM facilities as architected. Therefore we should clear the CPU_FTR_P9_TM_HV_ASSIST bit when we are not in hypervisor mode, along with the CPU_FTR_HVMODE bit. Doing this will not change anything at this stage because the only code that tests CPU_FTR_P9_TM_HV_ASSIST is in HV KVM, which currently can only be used when when CPU_FTR_HVMODE is set.
