[PATCH 1/2] KVM: arm/arm64: vgic: Don't populate multiple LRs with the same vintid

The vgic code is trying to be clever when injecting GICv2 SGIs,
and will happily populate LRs with the same interrupt number if
they come from multiple vcpus (after all, they are distinct
interrupt sources).

Unfortunately, this is against the letter of the architecture,
and the GICv2 architecture spec says "Each valid interrupt stored
in the List registers must have a unique VirtualID for that
virtual CPU interface.". GICv3 has similar (although slightly
ambiguous) restrictions.

This results in guests locking up when using GICv2-on-GICv3, for
example. The obvious fix is to stop trying so hard, and inject
a single vcpu per SGI per guest entry. After all, pending SGIs
with multiple source vcpus are pretty rare, and are mostly seen
in scenario where the physical CPUs are severely overcomitted.
