KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: In H_SVM_INIT_DONE, migrate remaining normal-GFNs to secure-GFNs
The Ultravisor is expected to explicitly call H_SVM_PAGE_IN for all the pages of the SVM before calling H_SVM_INIT_DONE. This causes a huge delay in tranistioning the VM to SVM. The Ultravisor is only interested in the pages that contain the kernel, initrd and other important data structures. The rest contain throw-away content. However if not all pages are requested by the Ultravisor, the Hypervisor continues to consider the GFNs corresponding to the non-requested pages as normal GFNs. This can lead to data-corruption and undefined behavior. In H_SVM_INIT_DONE handler, move all the PFNs associated with the SVM's GFNs to secure-PFNs. Skip the GFNs that are already Paged-in or Shared or Paged-in followed by a Paged-out.
