KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl can return -ENOMEM for KVM guests and QEMU
never handled this correctly. But this didn't cause any problems till
now as KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl returned with smaller than requested
HTAB when enough contiguous memory wasn't available in the host.
After the proposed kernel change: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/530501/,
KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl will not fallback to lower sized HTAB
allocation and will fail if requested HTAB size can't be met.
Check for such failures in QEMU and abort appropriately. This will
prevent guest kernel from hanging/freezing during early boot by doing
graceful exit when host is unable to allocate requested HTAB.
