Subject: [PATCH] s390/cpumf: Fix lpp detection

we have to check bit 40 of the facility list before issuing LPP and not bit 48. Otherwise a guest running on a system with "The decimal-floating-point zoned-conversion facility" and without the "The set-program-parameters facility" might crash on an lpp instruction.

Fixes e22cf8ca6f75 ("s390/cpumf: rework program parameter setting to detect guest samples")
