arm/arm64: KVM: Keep elrsr/aisr in sync with software model
commit ae705930fca6322600690df9dc1c7d0516145a93 upstream. [Note the upstream one of this patch requires applying full GICv3 support but it's out of the scope of stable kernel. So this patch has a huge modification for stable kernel comparing to the upstream one.] There is an interesting bug in the vgic code, which manifests itself when the KVM run loop has a signal pending or needs a vmid generation rollover after having disabled interrupts but before actually switching to the guest. In this case, we flush the vgic as usual, but we sync back the vgic state and exit to userspace before entering the guest. The consequence is that we will be syncing the list registers back to the software model using the GICH_ELRSR and GICH_EISR from the last execution of the guest, potentially overwriting a list register containing an interrupt. This showed up during migration testing where we would capture a state where the VM has masked the arch timer but there were no interrupts, resulting in a hung test.
