emulate_step() is not checking runtime VSX feature flag before
emulating an instruction. This is causing kernel crash when kernel
is compiled with CONFIG_VSX=y but running on a machine where VSX
is not supported or disabled. Ex, while running emulate_step tests
on P6 machine:

  Oops: Exception in kernel mode, sig: 4 [#1]
  NIP [c000000000095c24] .load_vsrn+0x28/0x54
  LR [c000000000094bdc] .emulate_loadstore+0x167c/0x17b0
  Call Trace:

With fix:
  emulate_step_test: lxvd2x         : FAIL
  emulate_step_test: stxvd2x        : FAIL
