powerpc/sstep: Fix kernel crash if VSX is not present
emulate_step() is not checking runtime VSX feature flag before
emulating an instruction. This is causing kernel crash when kernel
is compiled with CONFIG_VSX=y but running on a machine where VSX
is not supported or disabled. Ex, while running emulate_step tests
on P6 machine:
Oops: Exception in kernel mode, sig: 4 [#1]
