Currently, rebooting a pseries nested qemu-kvm guest (L2) results in
below error as L1 qemu sends PVR value 'arch_compat' == 0 via
ppc_set_compat ioctl. This triggers a condition failure in
kvmppc_set_arch_compat() resulting in an EINVAL.
qemu-system-ppc64: Unable to set CPU compatibility mode in KVM: Invalid
argument
Also, a value of 0 for arch_compat generally refers the default
compatibility of the host. But, arch_compat, being a Guest Wide Element
in nested API v2, cannot be set to 0 in GSB as PowerVM (L0) expects a
non-zero value. A value of 0 triggers a kernel trap during a reboot and
consequently causes it to fail:

This patch updates kvmppc_set_arch_compat() to use the host PVR value if
'compat_pvr' == 0 indicating that qemu doesn't want to enforce any
specific PVR compat mode.
The relevant part of the code might need a rework if PowerVM implements
a support for `arch_compat == 0` in nestedv2 API.
