KVM: ppc: Stop saving host TLB state

We're saving the host TLB state to memory on every exit, but never using it.
Originally I had thought that we'd want to restore host TLB for heavyweight
exits, but that could actually hurt when context switching to an unrelated host
process (i.e. not qemu).

Since this decreases the performance penalty of all exits, this patch improves
guest boot time by about 15%.
