Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: fix hardware PMU exception bug on PowerVM
 compatibility mode systems

References: bsc#1056686
Patch-mainline: v5.6-rc5
Git-commit: fc37a1632d40c80c067eb1bc235139f5867a2667

PowerVM systems running compatibility mode on a few Power8 revisions are
still vulnerable to the hardware defect that loses PMU exceptions arriving
prior to a context switch.

The software fix for this issue is enabled through the CPU_FTR_PMAO_BUG
cpu_feature bit, nevertheless this bit also needs to be set for PowerVM
compatibility mode systems.
