Just like for hot unplug CPUs, when a guest is rebooted, the secondary
CPUs can be awaken by the decrementer and start entering SLOF at the
same time the boot CPU is.
To be safe, let's disable on the secondaries all the exceptions which
can cause an exit while the CPU is in power-saving mode.

Changes in v4:
- used the 'lpcr_pm' field of PowerPCCPUClass
Changes in v3:
- used the cpu_ppc_papr_pece_bits() helper
