KVM: arm64: timers: Convert per-vcpu virtual offset to a global value
Having a per-vcpu virtual offset is a pain. It needs to be synchronized
on each update, and expands badly to a setup where different timers can
have different offsets, or have composite offsets (as with NV).
So let's start by replacing the use of the CNTVOFF_EL2 shadow register
(which we want to reclaim for NV anyway), and make the virtual timer
carry a pointer to a VM-wide offset.
This simplifies the code significantly. It also addresses two terrible bugs:
- The use of CNTVOFF_EL2 leads to some nice offset corruption
when the sysreg gets reset, as reported by Joey.
- The kvm mutex is taken from a vcpu ioctl, which goes against
the locking rules...
