The OV5_MMU_RADIX_300 requires special handling in the CAS negotiation
process. It is cleared from the option vector of the guest before
evaluating the changes and re-added later. But, when testing for a
possible CAS reset :

    spapr->cas_reboot = spapr_ovec_diff(ov5_updates,
                                        ov5_cas_old, spapr->ov5_cas);

the bit OV5_MMU_RADIX_300 will each time be seen as removed from the
previous OV5 set, hence generating a reset loop.

Fix this problem by also clearing the same bit in the ov5_cas_old set.

Kind of an ugly hack, but probably the easiest fix for now. Applied to ppc-for-2.11.

yes. I lack context to fully understand why the guest radix option is
handled that way.
