spapr: Workaround for broken radix guests

For a little while around 4.9, Linux kernels that saw the radix bit in
ibm,pa-features would attempt to set up the MMU as if they were a
hypervisor, even if they were a guest, which would cause them to
crash.

Work around this by detecting pre-ISA 3.0 guests by their lack of that
bit in option vector 1, and then removing the radix bit from
ibm,pa-features. Note: This now requires regeneration of that node
after CAS negotiation.
