powerpc/64: Don't try to use radix MMU under a hypervisor

Currently, if the kernel is running on a POWER9 processor under a
hypervisor, it will try to use the radix MMU even though it doesn't have
the necessary code to use radix under a hypervisor (it doesn't negotiate
use of radix, and it doesn't do the H_REGISTER_PROC_TBL hcall). The
result is that the guest kernel will crash when it tries to turn on the
MMU.

This fixes it by looking for the /chosen/ibm,architecture-vec-5
property, and if it exists, clears the radix MMU feature bit, before we
decide whether to initialize for radix or HPT. This property is created
by the hypervisor as a result of the guest calling the
ibm,client-architecture-support method to indicate its capabilities, so
it will indicate whether the hypervisor agreed to us using radix.

Systems without a hypervisor may have this property also (for example,
skiboot creates it), so we check the HV bit in the MSR to see whether we
are running as a guest or not. If we are in hypervisor mode, then we can
do whatever we like including using the radix MMU.

The reason for using this property is that in future, when we have
support for using radix under a hypervisor, we will need to check this
property to see whether the hypervisor agreed to us using radix.
