[v2] KVM: PPC: Enable CAP_SPAPR_TCE_VFIO on pSeries KVM guests

Commit Message

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.

Fix this by enabling the CAP_SPAPR_TCE_VFIO on the pSeries hosts as well
for the nested PAPR guests. With the patch, booting an L2 guest with
128G memory results in an average improvement of 11% in the startup
times.
