KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Ensure radix guest has no SLB entries
Commit 68ad28a4 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix radix guest SLB side channel") changed the older guest entry path, with the side effect that vcpu->arch.slb_max no longer gets cleared for a radix guest. This means that a HPT guest which loads some SLB entries, switches to radix mode, runs the guest using the old guest entry path (e.g., because the indep_threads_mode module parameter has been set to false), and then switches back to HPT mode would now see the old SLB entries being present, whereas previously it would have seen no SLB entries. To avoid changing guest-visible behaviour, this adds a store instruction to clear vcpu->arch.slb_max for a radix guest using the old guest entry path. Signed-off-by:Paul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>
