Not required. If we are coming from guest (HSTATE_IN_GUEST != 0) we fall
through do_kvm_200->kvmppc_interrupt and for PR guest it would lead us
to kvmppc_interrupt_pr which will inject MCE in PR guest.

Having said that I just realized that I should use #ifdef
CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_64_HANDLER instead. The check holds good for both HV
and PR guests.
