KVM: PPC: Book3S PR: Add transaction memory save/restore skeleton

The transaction memory checkpoint area save/restore behavior is
triggered when VCPU qemu process is switching out/into CPU, i.e.
at kvmppc_core_vcpu_put_pr() and kvmppc_core_vcpu_load_pr().

MSR TM active state is determined by TS bits:
    active: 10(transactional) or 01 (suspended)
    inactive: 00 (non-transactional)
We don't "fake" TM functionality for guest. We "sync" guest virtual
MSR TM active state(10 or 01) with shadow MSR. That is to say,
we don't emulate a transactional guest with a TM inactive MSR.

TM SPR support(TFIAR/TFAR/TEXASR) has already been supported by
commit e53ee2a46c62 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S PR: Expose TM registers").
Math register support (FPR/VMX/VSX) will be done at subsequent
patch.

Whether TM context need to be saved/restored can be determined
by kvmppc_get_msr() TM active state:
* TM active - save/restore TM context
* TM inactive - no need to do so and only save/restore
TM SPRs.
