powerpc: Fix is_kvm_guest() / kvm_para_available()

Browse source 
Commit a21d1becaa ("powerpc: Reintroduce is_kvm_guest() as a fast-path
check") added is_kvm_guest() and changed kvm_para_available() to use it.

is_kvm_guest() checks a static key, kvm_guest, and that static key is
set in check_kvm_guest().

The problem is check_kvm_guest() is only called on pseries, and even
then only in some configurations. That means is_kvm_guest() always
returns false on all non-pseries and some pseries depending on
configuration. That's a bug.

For PR KVM guests this is noticable because they no longer do live
patching of themselves, which can be detected by the omission of a
message in dmesg such as:

  KVM: Live patching for a fast VM worked

To fix it make check_kvm_guest() an initcall, to ensure it's always
called at boot. It needs to be core so that it runs before
kvm_guest_init() which is postcore. To be an initcall it needs to return
int, where 0 means success, so update that.

We still call it manually in pSeries_smp_probe(), because that runs
before init calls are run.
