STHYI: Fix mismatch case with STHYI and /proc/sysinfo data
    
    Reported via Bz162324. Symptom was that qclib wouldn't work on a z/VM 5.4.
    Analysis revealed that although the STHYI instruction wasn't available, the
    newly added STHYI syscall would work, but (as intended) reported only layers
    up to LPAR. In contrast, /proc/sysinfo would report all layers, including the
    z/VM layer. Some detection logic kicked in and reported an error.
    The problem was rooted in a bizarr combination of multiple glitches:
    * An (unnecessary) extra handling for z/VM that was previously added would
      raise an error on mismatching layer counts in STHYI and /proc/sysinfo. This
      was to detect cases with more than 3 levels of nested virtualization. But the
      check just was for mismatching counts and didn't check for the 3 layers
      reported by STHYI at all.
    * Furthermore, the check mentioned above was unnecessary to begin with: When
      STHYI reports data for 3 VM layers, and /proc/sysinfo for more, then the
      extra layers will simply not get any data from STHYI - no harm done.
    * STHYI in KVM worked like a charm ever since, though it is supposed to fail
      with the same error as z/VM since STHYI in KVM (and likewise the syscall in
      LPARs) cannot report data beyond the LPAR layer - it should result in the
      same mismatch that z/VM experienced. However, the respective routines would
      only ever consider VM layers in z/VM and ignore the ones in KVM! Hence all
      layers beyond LPAR wouldn't be accounted for on KVM!
    To fix, we're ripping out the extra check, and rewrite the remaining code to
    handle z/VM and KVM alike.
    Furthermore, we rename "STHYI@VM" to "STHYI instruction", and "STHYI@LPAR" to
    "STHYI syscall" for improved clarity.
