[PATCH v2] powerpc/book3s64/pkey: Disable pkey on POWER6 and before

[Aneesh Kumar K.V]

POWER6 only support AMR update via privileged mode(MSR[PR] = 0, SPRN_AMR=29)
The PR=1 alias for that SPR (SPRN_AMR=13) was only supported
from POWER7. Since we don't allow userspace modifying of AMR value
we should disable pkey support on P6 and before.

The hypervisor will still report pkey support via ibm,processor-storage-keys.
Hence check for P7 CPU_FTR bit to decide on pkey support.
