KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Prevent POWER7/8 TLB flush flushing SLB

The POWER9 ERAT flush instruction is a SLBIA with IH=7, which is a
reserved value on POWER7/8. On POWER8 this invalidates the SLB entries
above index 0, similarly to SLBIA IH=0.

If the SLB entries are invalidated, and then the guest is bypassed, the
host SLB does not get re-loaded, so the bolted entries above 0 will be
lost. This can result in kernel stack access causing a SLB fault.

Kernel stack access causing a SLB fault was responsible for the infamous
mega bug (search "Fix SLB reload bug"). Although since commit
48e7b769 ("powerpc/64s/hash: Convert SLB miss handlers to C") that
starts using the kernel stack in the SLB miss handler, it might only
result in an infinite loop of SLB faults. In any case it's a bug.

Fix this by only executing the instruction on >= POWER9 where IH=7 is
defined not to invalidate the SLB. POWER7/8 don't require this ERAT
flush.
