Gautam Menghani e7d134bd28 KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Stop using vc->dpdes for nested KVM guests 
[ Upstream commit 0d3c6b2889 ]

commit 6398326b9b ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV P9: Stop using vc->dpdes")
introduced an optimization to use only vcpu->doorbell_request for SMT
emulation for Power9 and above guests, but the code for nested guests
still relies on the old way of handling doorbells, due to which an L2
guest (see [1]) cannot be booted with XICS with SMT>1. The command to
repro this issue is:

// To be run in L1

qemu-system-ppc64 \
	-drive file=rhel.qcow2,format=qcow2 \
	-m 20G \
	-smp 8,cores=1,threads=8 \
	-cpu  host \
	-nographic \
	-machine pseries,ic-mode=xics -accel kvm

Fix the plumbing to utilize vcpu->doorbell_request instead of vcore->dpdes
for nested KVM guests on P9 and above.

[1] Terminology
1. L0 : PowerNV linux running with HV privileges
2. L1 : Pseries KVM guest running on top of L0
2. L2 : Nested KVM guest running on top of L1

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
