Use the unified interface to call confidential guest related kvm_init()
and kvm_reset(), to avoid exposing pef specific functions.
As a bonus, pef.h goes away since there is no direct call from sPAPR
board code to PEF code anymore.

Modify migrate_add_blocker and migrate_del_blocker to take an Error **
reason. This allows migration to own the Error object, so that if
an error occurs in migrate_add_blocker, migration code can free the Error
and clear the client handle, simplifying client code. It also simplifies
the migrate_del_blocker call site.
In addition, this is a pre-requisite for a proposed future patch that would
add a mode argument to migration requests to support live update, and
maintain a list of blockers for each mode. A blocker may apply to a single
mode or to multiple modes, and passing Error** will allow one Error object
to be registered for multiple modes.
No functional change.

QEMU is failing to launch a CGS pSeries guest in a host that has PEF
support:
qemu-system-ppc64: ../softmmu/vl.c:2585: qemu_machine_creation_done: Assertion `machine->cgs->ready' failed.
Aborted
This is happening because we're not setting the cgs->ready flag that is
asserted in qemu_machine_creation_done() during machine start.
cgs->ready is set in s390_pv_kvm_init() and sev_kvm_init(). Let's set it
in kvmppc_svm_init() as well.

We haven't yet implemented the fairly involved handshaking that will be
needed to migrate PEF protected guests. For now, just use a migration
blocker so we get a meaningful error if someone attempts this (this is the
same approach used by AMD SEV).

Some upcoming POWER machines have a system called PEF (Protected
Execution Facility) which uses a small ultravisor to allow guests to
run in a way that they can't be eavesdropped by the hypervisor. The
effect is roughly similar to AMD SEV, although the mechanisms are
quite different.
Most of the work of this is done between the guest, KVM and the
ultravisor, with little need for involvement by qemu. However qemu
does need to tell KVM to allow secure VMs.
Because the availability of secure mode is a guest visible difference
which depends on having the right hardware and firmware, we don't
enable this by default. In order to run a secure guest you need to
create a "pef-guest" object and set the confidential-guest-support
property to point to it.
Note that this just *allows* secure guests, the architecture of PEF is
such that the guest still needs to talk to the ultravisor to enter
secure mode. Qemu has no direct way of knowing if the guest is in
secure mode, and certainly can't know until well after machine
creation time.
To start a PEF-capable guest, use the command line options:
-object pef-guest,id=pef0 -machine confidential-guest-support=pef0
