powerpc/pseries: Enable hardlockup watchdog for PowerVM partitions
PowerVM will not arbitrarily oversubscribe or stop guests, page out the guest kernel text to a NFS volume connected by carrier pigeon to abacus based storage, etc., as a KVM host might. So PowerVM guests are not likely to be killed by the hard lockup watchdog in normal operation, even with shared processor LPARs which still get a minimum allotment of CPU time. Enable the hard lockup detector by default on !KVM guests, which we will assume is PowerVM. It has been useful in finding problems on bare metal kernels.
