KVM: PPC: Book3S PR: Don't corrupt guest state when kernel uses VMX

Currently the code assumes that once we load up guest FP/VSX or VMX
state into the CPU, it stays valid in the CPU registers until we
explicitly flush it to the thread_struct.  However, on POWER7,
copy_page() and memcpy() can use VMX.  These functions do flush the
VMX state to the thread_struct before using VMX instructions, but if
this happens while we have guest state in the VMX registers, and we
then re-enter the guest, we don't reload the VMX state from the
thread_struct, leading to guest corruption.  This has been observed
to cause guest processes to segfault.

To fix this, we check before re-entering the guest that all of the
bits corresponding to facilities owned by the guest, as expressed
in vcpu->arch.guest_owned_ext, are set in current->thread.regs->msr.
Any bits that have been cleared correspond to facilities that have
been used by kernel code and thus flushed to the thread_struct, so
for them we reload the state from the thread_struct.

We also need to check current->thread.regs->msr before calling
giveup_fpu() or giveup_altivec(), since if the relevant bit is
clear, the state has already been flushed to the thread_struct and
to flush it again would corrupt it.
