Use of nmi_enter/exit in real mode handler causes the kernel to panic
and reboot on injecting slb mutihit on pseries machine running in hash
mmu mode, As these calls try to accesses memory outside RMO region in
real mode handler where translation is disabled.

Add check to not to use these calls on pseries machine running in hash
mmu mode.

In an offline discussion mpe suggested to use radix_enabled() to check if it is
radix or hash, as MMU_FTR_HPTE_TABLE may be true on radix machines also and use
of FW_FEATURE_LPAR better than machine_is(pseries), sending v4 with these changes.
