POWER9 CPUs have independent MMU contexts per thread, so KVM does not
need to quiesce secondary threads, so the hwthread_req/hwthread_state
protocol does not have to be used. So patch it away on POWER9, and patch
away the branch from the Linux idle wakeup to kvm_start_guest that is
never used.

Add a warning and error out of kvmppc_grab_hwthread in case it is ever
called on POWER9.

This avoids a hwsync in the idle wakeup path on POWER9.

Paulus do you mind acking this and I'll put it in my ppc-kvm topic
branch.

cheers

Some of the feature sections seem a little unnecessary except for
documentation purposes (e.g. the second one added after the
kvm_no_guest label), but they won't actually hurt, so:

Applied to powerpc next, thanks.
