KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Allow userspace to set the desired SMT mode

This allows userspace to set the desired virtual SMT (simultaneous
multithreading) mode for a VM, that is, the number of VCPUs that
get assigned to each virtual core.  Previously, the virtual SMT mode
was fixed to the number of threads per subcore, and if userspace
wanted to have fewer vcpus per vcore, then it would achieve that by
using a sparse CPU numbering.  This had the disadvantage that the
vcpu numbers can get quite large, particularly for SMT1 guests on
a POWER8 with 8 threads per core.  With this patch, userspace can
set its desired virtual SMT mode and then use contiguous vcpu
numbering.

On POWER8, where the threading mode is "strict", the virtual SMT mode
must be less than or equal to the number of threads per subcore.  On
POWER9, which implements a "loose" threading mode, the virtual SMT
mode can be any power of 2 between 1 and 8, even though there is
effectively one thread per subcore, since the threads are independent
and can all be in different partitions.

7.11 KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT
Architectures: ppc
Parameters: vsmt_mode, flags
Enabling this capability on a VM provides userspace with a way to set
the desired virtual SMT mode (i.e. the number of virtual CPUs per
virtual core). The virtual SMT mode, vsmt_mode, must be a power of 2
between 1 and 8. On POWER8, vsmt_mode must also be no greater than
the number of threads per subcore for the host. Currently flags must
be 0. A successful call to enable this capability will result in
vsmt_mode being returned when the KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT capability is
subsequently queried for the VM. This capability is only supported by
HV KVM, and can only be set before any VCPUs have been created.
8. Other capabilities.
