ppc: fix ppc_set_compat() with KVM PR
When running in KVM PR mode, kvmppc_set_compat() always fail because the current PR implementation doesn't handle KVM_REG_PPC_ARCH_COMPAT. Now that the machine code inconditionally calls ppc_set_compat_all() at reset time to restore the compat mode default value (commit 66d5c492), it is impossible to start a guest with PR: qemu-system-ppc64: Unable to set CPU compatibility mode in KVM: Invalid argument A tentative patch [1] was recently sent by Suraj to address the issue, but it would prevent the compat mode to be turned off on reset. And we really don't want to explicitely check for KVM PR. During the patch's review, David suggested that we should only call the KVM ioctl() if the compat PVR changes. This allows at least to run with KVM PR, provided no compat mode is requested from the command line (which should be the case when running PR nested). This is what this patch does. While here, we also fix the side effect where KVM would fail but we would change the CPU state in QEMU anyway.
