Christoffer Dall 6fe407f2d1 KVM: arm64: Require in-kernel irqchip for PMU support
If userspace creates a PMU for the VCPU, but doesn't create an in-kernel
irqchip, then we end up in a nasty path where we try to take an
uninitialized spinlock, which can lead to all sorts of breakages.

Luckily, QEMU always creates the VGIC before the PMU, so we can
establish this as ABI and check for the VGIC in the PMU init stage.
This can be relaxed at a later time if we want to support PMU with a
userspace irqchip.

Shannon Zhao bb0c70bcca arm64: KVM: Add a new vcpu device control group for PMUv3
To configure the virtual PMUv3 overflow interrupt number, we use the
vcpu kvm_device ioctl, encapsulating the KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_IRQ
attribute within the KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_CTRL group.

After configuring the PMUv3, call the vcpu ioctl with attribute
KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_INIT to initialize the PMUv3.

Shannon Zhao f577f6c2a6 arm64: KVM: Introduce per-vcpu kvm device controls
In some cases it needs to get/set attributes specific to a vcpu and so
needs something else than ONE_REG.

Let's copy the KVM_DEVICE approach, and define the respective ioctls
for the vcpu file descriptor.
