The STFLE bit 147 indicates whether the ESSA no-DAT operation code is
valid, the bit is not normally provided to the host; the host is
instead provided with an SCLP bit that indicates whether guests can
support the feature.
This patch:
* enables the STFLE bit in the guest if the corresponding SCLP bit is
present in the host.
* adds support for migrating the no-DAT bit in the PGSTEs
* fixes the software interpretation of the ESSA instruction that is
used when migrating, both for the new operation code and for the old
"set stable", as per specifications.

The ESSA instruction has a new option that allows to tag pages that
are not used as a page table. Without the tag the hypervisor has to
assume that any guest page could be used in a page table inside the
guest. This forces the hypervisor to flush all guest TLB entries
whenever a host page table entry is invalidated. With the tag
the host can skip the TLB flush if the page is tagged as normal page.

Add PGSTE manipulation functions:
* set_pgste_bits sets specific bits in a PGSTE
* get_pgste returns the whole PGSTE
* pgste_perform_essa manipulates a PGSTE to set specific storage states
* ESSA_[SG]ET_* macros used to indicate the action for manipulate_pgste
