KVM: arm/arm64: vgic-v2: Avoid accessing GICH registers
GICv2 registers are *slow*. As in "terrifyingly slow". Which is bad.
But we're equaly bad, as we make a point in accessing them even if
we don't have any interrupt in flight.
A good solution is to first find out if we have anything useful to
write into the GIC, and if we don't, to simply not do it. This
involves tracking which LRs actually have something valid there.
