Relocates an existing static function that tests whether
the AP extended addressing facility (APXA) is installed on
the linux host. The primary reason for relocating this
function is because a new compilation unit (arch/s390/kvm/kvm-ap.c)
is being created to contain all of the interfaces and logic
for configuring an AP matrix for a KVM guest. Some of its
functions will also need to determine whether APXA is installed,
so, let's go ahead and relocate this static function as a
public interface in kvm-ap.c.

Notes:
----
1. The interface to determine whether APXA is installed on the linux
    host the information returned from the AP Query Configuration
    Information (QCI) function. This function will not be available
    if the AP instructions are not installed on the linux host, so a check
    will be included to verify that.

2. Currently, the AP bus interfaces accessing the AP instructions will
    not be accessible if CONFIG_ZCRYPT=n, so the relevant code will be
    temporarily contained in the new arch/s390/kvm/kvm-ap.c file until
    the patch(es) to statically build the required AP bus interfaces are
    available.
Any ETA for those interfaces? Would be nice if we could avoid
introducing temporary interfaces (but I'm certainly not opposing this
patch).

I'll check with the developer.

Don't you want to drop the 'vnet' from your address, as the vnet-less
form seems to be the one that will continue working from what I've
heard?

No objection against this patch, although I still hope it will not be
needed :)
