QEMU currently crashes when the user tries to add a spapr-cpu-core
on a non-pseries machine:

$ qemu-system-ppc64 -S -machine ppce500,accel=tcg \
                    -device POWER5+_v2.1-spapr-cpu-core
hw/ppc/spapr_cpu_core.c:178:spapr_cpu_core_realize_child:
Object 0x55cee1f55160 is not an instance of type spapr-machine
Aborted (core dumped)

So let's add a proper check for the correct machine time with
a more friendly error message here.

 v2:
 - Add the check to spapr_cpu_core_realize() instead of adding it to
   spapr_cpu_core_realize_child()
 - Use device/machine whitelist for the device-crash-test instead of
   adding a log entry there

Applied to ppc-for-2.11, thanks.
