powerpc: Fix is_kvm_guest() / kvm_para_available()
Commit a21d1becaa3f ("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.
