This short series converts RISC-V KVM AIA's Hypervisor Guest External
Interrupt (HGEI) line management from a global "one-size-fits-all"
model to a fully per-HART (per-CPU) model. It also performs the
corresponding changes in the IMSIC irqchip driver.

The motivation is to properly support heterogeneous RISC-V SoCs
(big.LITTLE, multi-vendor core mixes) where different HARTs may
expose different numbers of guest interrupt files / HGEIE bits.

After this series, HGEI allocation, freeing, and interrupt delivery
are completely per-HART and there are no remaining global assumptions
about number of guest interrupt files.

Changelog:
V5:
 - Avoid re-initializing hgctrl->lock in kvm_riscv_aia_enable()
 - Setup free_bitmap only once in kvm_riscv_aia_enable()
 - Make kvm_riscv_aia_nr_hgei so that it can be concurrently
   updated from kvm_riscv_aia_enable()

V4:
 - Don't modify kvm_riscv_aia_nr_hgei in kvm_riscv_aia_enable()
   since we use kvm_riscv_aia_nr_hgei mostly for HGEI enable/disable
   checks.
 - Use GENMASK_ULL() instead of `BIT(hgctrl->nr_hgei + 1) - 1`
 - Always setup SGEI interrupt irrespective of kvm_riscv_aia_nr_hgei

V3:
 - Move PATCH3 as first patch and kept the nr_guest_files in
   global config as the number of guest files across all CPUs
 - Droped original PATCH2 and squashed original PATCH4 into
   original PATCH1 which is now PATCH2.
 - Addressed comments in original PATCH1.

V2:
 - Add per-HART IMSIC guest files to compute final HGEI count.
 - Add min(local->nr_guest_files, nr_guest_files);

V1:
