Some functions defined in `arch/powerpc/kernel` (and one in `arch/powerpc/
kexec`) are deserving of an `__init` macro attribute. These functions are
only called by other initialization functions and therefore should inherit
the attribute.
Also, change function declarations in header files to include `__init`.

Commit a21d1becaa3f ("powerpc: Reintroduce is_kvm_guest() as a fast-path
check") added is_kvm_guest() and changed kvm_para_available() to use it.
is_kvm_guest() checks a static key, kvm_guest, and that static key is
set in check_kvm_guest().
The problem is check_kvm_guest() is only called on pseries, and even
then only in some configurations. That means is_kvm_guest() always
returns false on all non-pseries and some pseries depending on
configuration. That's a bug.
For PR KVM guests this is noticable because they no longer do live
patching of themselves, which can be detected by the omission of a
message in dmesg such as:
KVM: Live patching for a fast VM worked
To fix it make check_kvm_guest() an initcall, to ensure it's always
called at boot. It needs to be core so that it runs before
kvm_guest_init() which is postcore. To be an initcall it needs to return
int, where 0 means success, so update that.
We still call it manually in pSeries_smp_probe(), because that runs
before init calls are run.

Introduce a static branch that would be set during boot if the OS
happens to be a KVM guest. Subsequent checks to see if we are on KVM
will rely on this static branch. This static branch would be used in
vcpu_is_preempted() in a subsequent patch.

We want to reuse the is_kvm_guest() name in a subsequent patch but
with a new body. Hence rename is_kvm_guest() to check_kvm_guest(). No
additional changes.

Only code/declaration movement, in anticipation of doing a KVM-aware
vcpu_is_preempted(). No additional changes.
