[PATCH v7 3/8] KVM: selftests: Skip the max vCPU ID test when KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT is set

[Ritesh Harjani (IBM)]

kvm_create_max_vcpus creates vCPUs from 0..MAX_VCPUS-1, then again
with ids at the top of KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID.

On PowerPC the vCPU id is not a flat index: it encodes SMT thread plus
core. So on powerpc maximum permitted vCPU ID depends on the VM's SMT
mode and the maximum reported by KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID exceeds a simple
non-SMT VM's limit.

So, skip that second loop when KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT is non-zero. The cap is
0 on other arches, so they still run it. The 0..MAX_VCPUS pass is
unchanged.
