[PATCH v4 2/2] RISC-V: KVM: AIA: Make HGEI number management fully per-CPU

From: "Guo Ren (Alibaba DAMO Academy)" <guoren at kernel.org>

Previously, the number of Hypervisor Guest External Interrupt (HGEI)
lines was stored in a single global variable `kvm_riscv_aia_nr_hgei`
and assumed to be the same for all HARTs. This assumption does not
hold on heterogeneous RISC-V SoCs where different cores may expose
different HGEIE CSR widths.

Introduce `nr_hgei` field into the per-CPU `struct aia_hgei_control`
and probe the actual supported HGEI count for the current HART in
`kvm_riscv_aia_enable()` using the standard RISC-V CSR probe technique:

    csr_write(CSR_HGEIE, -1UL);
    nr = fls_long(csr_read(CSR_HGEIE));
    if (nr)
        nr--;

All HGEI allocation, free and disable paths (`kvm_riscv_aia_free_hgei()`,
`kvm_riscv_aia_disable()`, etc.) now use the per-CPU value instead of
the global one.

The global `kvm_riscv_aia_nr_hgei` now represents the minimum number
of HGEI lines across HARTs and can be used to check whether HGEI
support is available or not.

This makes KVM AIA robust on big.LITTLE-style asymmetric platforms.
