KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix KVM_RUN clobbering FP/VEC user registers
Before running a guest, the host process (e.g., QEMU) FP/VEC registers are saved if they were being used, similarly to when the kernel uses FP registers. The guest values are then loaded into regs, and the host process registers will be restored lazily when it uses FP/VEC. KVM HV has a bug here: the host process registers do get saved, but the user MSR bits remain enabled, which indicates the registers are valid for the process. After they are clobbered by running the guest, this valid indication causes the host process to take on the FP/VEC register values of the guest.
