powerpc/pseries: Fix KVM guest detection for disabling hardlockup detector
commit 44e5d21e6d3fd2a1fed7f0327cf72e99397e2eaf upstream. As per the kernel documentation[1], hardlockup detector should be disabled in KVM guests as it may give false positives. On PPC, hardlockup detector is enabled inside KVM guests because disable_hardlockup_detector() is marked as early_initcall and it relies on kvm_guest static key (is_kvm_guest()) which is initialized later during boot by check_kvm_guest(), which is a core_initcall. check_kvm_guest() is also called in pSeries_smp_probe(), which is called before initcalls, but it is skipped if KVM guest does not have doorbell support or if the guest is launched with SMT=1. Call check_kvm_guest() in disable_hardlockup_detector() so that is_kvm_guest() check goes through fine and hardlockup detector can be disabled inside the KVM guest.
