hw/ppc/spapr.c: Make sure the host supports the selected MMU mode

Starting with Linux kernel v5.12 we dropped support[1] in KVM for
hosts that can't have their threads running in different MMU modes
(POWER9 < DD2.2). In these hosts, KVM will no longer report the
KVM_CAP_PPC_MMU_HASH_V3 capability[2] when the host is running Radix.

For guests that support both MMU modes, the negotiation during CAS
will make sure it selects the correct one.

For guests that only support Hash, such as P8 compat mode guests, the
following error is currently thrown:

This patch adds a verification during the writing of the platform
support vector so that we error out as soon as we determine this guest
only supports Hash and the host doesn't.

  qemu-system-ppc64: Guest requested unavailable MMU mode (hash).
