[B][SRU][PATCH 1/1] s390/early: improve machine detection

From: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger at de.ibm.com>

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1829972

Right now the early machine detection code check stsi 3.2.2 for "KVM"
and set MACHINE_IS_VM if this is different. As the console detection
uses diagnose 8 if MACHINE_IS_VM returns true this will crash Linux
early for any non z/VM system that sets a different value than KVM.
So instead of assuming z/VM, do not set any of MACHINE_IS_LPAR,
MACHINE_IS_VM, or MACHINE_IS_KVM.
