arm/arm64: KVM: Keep elrsr/aisr in sync with software model
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.
