The guest state buffer (GSB) test suite currently fails on systems that
do not support the PAPR APIv2 nested virtualization. This happens because
the tests attempt to use APIv2-specific functionality without first
checking if the host supports it. This was recently reported [1] when
test-guest-state-buffer kunit tests were being run on Qemu without enabling
Qemu capability 'cap-nested-papr' which enabled APIv2 nested virtualization
for PPC64 Pseries Qemu machine.

Add a suite_init callback that checks for APIv2 support by calling
plpar_guest_get_capabilities(). If the host does not support APIv2
(indicated by H_SUCCESS not being returned), mark the kunit_suite as
skipped. This prevents test failures on systems without APIv2 support while
still allowing the tests to run on capable systems.

This patch uses the ability to skip entire kunit_suite which is proposed at
[2].

Change-log
=========
V1->V2:
* Updated the init_gs_test_suite() to use 'kunit_mark_skipped()' for
kunit_suite.
* Addressed sashiko-bot's review comment regarding unconditional execution
of hcall on non-PSeries systems like PowerNV [Sashiko]
