KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Virtualize doorbell facility on POWER9

On POWER9, we no longer have the restriction that we had on POWER8
where all threads in a core have to be in the same partition, so
the CPU threads are now independent.  However, we still want to be
able to run guests with a virtual SMT topology, if only to allow
migration of guests from POWER8 systems to POWER9.

A guest that has a virtual SMT mode greater than 1 will expect to
be able to use the doorbell facility; it will expect the msgsndp
and msgclrp instructions to work appropriately and to be able to read
sensible values from the TIR (thread identification register) and
DPDES (directed privileged doorbell exception status) special-purpose
registers.  However, since each CPU thread is a separate sub-processor
in POWER9, these instructions and registers can only be used within
a single CPU thread.

In order for these instructions to appear to act correctly according
to the guest's virtual SMT mode, we have to trap and emulate them.
We cause them to trap by clearing the HFSCR_MSGP bit in the HFSCR
register.  The emulation is triggered by the hypervisor facility
unavailable interrupt that occurs when the guest uses them.

To cause a doorbell interrupt to occur within the guest, we set the
DPDES register to 1.  If the guest has interrupts enabled, the CPU
will generate a doorbell interrupt and clear the DPDES register in
hardware.  The DPDES hardware register for the guest is saved in the
vcpu->arch.vcore->dpdes field.  Since this gets written by the guest
exit code, other VCPUs wishing to cause a doorbell interrupt don't
write that field directly, but instead set a vcpu->arch.doorbell_request
flag.  This is consumed and set to 0 by the guest entry code, which
then sets DPDES to 1.

Emulating reads of the DPDES register is somewhat involved, because
it requires reading the doorbell pending interrupt status of all of the
VCPU threads in the virtual core, and if any of those VCPUs are
running, their doorbell status is only up-to-date in the hardware
DPDES registers of the CPUs where they are running.  In order to get
a reasonable approximation of the current doorbell status, we send
those CPUs an IPI, causing an exit from the guest which will update
the vcpu->arch.vcore->dpdes field.  We then use that value in
constructing the emulated DPDES register value.
