print_s5_reset_status_mmio() expects to read FCH MMIO on baremetal.  VMs
don't have emulated FCH registers, so there is nothing to check.  Add an
early exit when running on a hypervisor.

The real motivation is Xen PV domUs can't boot on Zen CPUs.  PV domUs
PTE contain system physical addresses - they don't have concept of guest
physical addresses.  domUs can only map physical addresses they are
assigned, so a domU fails to map the FCH MMIO addresses.  However
set_pte() does not return failure, so ioremap() returns a pointer while
the PTEs are unpopulated.  print_s5_reset_status_mmio() faults when
reading through the pointer, breaking the boot.  This change fixes Xen
PV domUs booting on Zen CPUs.

dom0 can map the FCH MMIO, but it has X86_FEATURE_HYPERVISOR set.  With
this change, it no longer prints the reset reason.

dom0 could work, but that would require a xen_initial_domain() check.

I've wondered about a different approach:  We can't directly check for a
device for the FCH_PM_BASE memory, but maybe we could check for a PCI
ISA Bridge with PCI_VENDOR_ID_AMD.  That might be close enough to
indicate real hardware?  But it would still be a heuristic, so I'm not
sure how much better that would be.
