Since NVDIMM support was introduced on pseries machine,
it ignored machine's nvdimm=on|off option and effectively
was always enabled on machines that support NVDIMM.
Later on commit
(28f5a716212 ppc/spapr_nvdimm: do not enable support with 'nvdimm=off')
makes QEMU error out in case user explicitly set 'nvdimm=off'
on CLI by peeking at machine_opts.
However that's a workaround and leaves 'nvdimms_state->is_enabled'
in inconsistent state (false) when it should be set true
by default.
Instead of using on machine_opts, set default to true for pseries
machine in initfn time. If user sets manually 'nvdimm=off'
it will overwrite default value to false and QEMU will error
as expected without need to peek into machine_opts.
That way pseries will have, nvdimm enabled by default and
will honor user provided 'nvdimm=on|off'.
