KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Don't always save PMU for guest capable of nesting

Provide a config option that controls the workaround added by commit
63279eeb7f93 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Always save guest pmu for guest
capable of nesting"). The option defaults to y for now, but is expected
to go away within a few releases.

Nested capable guests running with the earlier commit 178266389794
("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV Nested: Reflect guest PMU in-use to L0 when guest
SPRs are live") will now indicate the PMU in-use status of their guests,
which means the parent does not need to unconditionally save the PMU for
nested capable guests.

After this latest round of performance optimisations, this option costs
about 540 cycles or 10% entry/exit performance on a POWER9 nested-capable
guest.
