powerpc: Save/restore PPR for KVM hypercalls
The system call FLIH (first-level interrupt handler) at 0xc00
unconditionally sets hardware priority to medium. For hypercalls, this
means we lose guest OS priority. The front end (do_kvm_0x**) to the
KVM interrupt handler always assumes that PPR priority is saved in
PACA exception save area, so it copies this to the kvm_hstate
structure. For hypercalls, this would be the saved priority from any
previous exception. Eventually, the guest gets resumed with an
incorrect priority.
The fix is to save the PPR priority in PACA exception save area before
switching HMT priorities in the FLIH so that existing code described above
in the KVM interrupt handler can copy it from there into the VCPU's saved
context.
