KVM: s390: allow user space to handle instr 0x0000

We will use illegal instruction 0x0000 for handling 2 byte sw breakpoints
from user space. As it can be enabled dynamically via a capability,
let's move setting of ICTL_OPEREXC to the post creation step, so we avoid
any races when enabling that capability just while adding new cpus.
