Move processor compatibility check from kvm_arch_processor_compat() into
kvm_arch_hardware_setup().  The check does model name comparison with a
global variable, cur_cpu_spec.  There is no point to check it at run time
on all processors.

kvmppc_core_check_processor_compat() checks the global variable.  There are
five implementation for it as follows.

  arch/powerpc/include/asm/cputable.h: extern struct cpu_spec *cur_cpu_spec;
  arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s.c: return 0
  arch/powerpc/kvm/e500.c: strcmp(cur_cpu_spec->cpu_name, "e500v2")
  arch/powerpc/kvm/e500mc.c: strcmp(cur_cpu_spec->cpu_name, "e500mc")
                             strcmp(cur_cpu_spec->cpu_name, "e5500")
                             strcmp(cur_cpu_spec->cpu_name, "e6500")

A key detail I had to look up is that both kvm_arch_hardware_setup() and
kvm_arch_check_processor_compat() are called from kvm_init(), one after
the other. But the latter is called on each CPU.

And because the powerpc implementation of kvm_arch_check_processor_compat()
just checks a global, there's no need to call it on every CPU.

There are three implementations not five.

The actual change seems OK. I gave it a quick test boot and ran some
VMs, everything seems to work as before.

Thanks. I'll update the commit message.

Thanks so much for testing. I'll remove RFC.
