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.
