Currently, on book3s-hv, the capability KVM_CAP_SPAPR_TCE_VFIO is only
available for KVM Guests running on PowerNV and not for the KVM guests
running on pSeries hypervisors. This prevents a pSeries hypervisor from
leveraging the in-kernel acceleration for H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT and
H_STUFF_TCE hcalls that results in slow startup times for large memory
guests.
Fix this by enabling the CAP_SPAPR_TCE_VFIO on the pSeries hosts for the
nested PAPR guests.
