s390: avoid cache aliasing under z/VM and KVM
commit 1f6b83e5e4d3 ("s390: avoid z13 cache aliasing") checks for the machine type to optimize address space randomization and zero page allocation to avoid cache aliases. This check might fail under a hypervisor with migration support. z/VMs "Single System Image and Live Guest Relocation" facility will "fake" the machine type of the oldest system in the group. For example in a group of zEC12 and Z13 the guest appears to run on a zEC12 (architecture fencing within the relocation domain) Remove the machine type detection and always use cache aliasing rules that are known to work for all machines. These are the z13 aliasing rules.
