KVM: PPC: Fix oops when checking KVM_CAP_PPC_HTM



The following program causes a kernel oops:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <linux/kvm.h>

main()
{
    int fd = open("/dev/kvm", O_RDWR);
    ioctl(fd, KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION, KVM_CAP_PPC_HTM);
}

This happens because when using the global KVM fd with
KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION, kvm_vm_ioctl_check_extension() gets
called with a NULL kvm argument, which gets dereferenced
in is_kvmppc_hv_enabled(). Spotted while reading the code.

Let's use the hv_enabled fallback variable, like everywhere
else in this function.
