[Utopic/Trusty][SRU][PATCH] KVM: PPC: BOOK3S: HV: CMA: Reserve cma region only in hypervisor mode

We use cma reserved area for creating guest hash page table.
Don't do the reservation in non-hypervisor mode. This avoids unnecessary
CMA reservation when booting with limited memory configs like
fadump and kdump.
