[PATCH v4 2/6] irqchip/gic-v3-its: Drop the setting of PTZ altogether

[Shenming Lu]

GICv4.1 gives a way to get the VLPI state, which needs to map the
vPE first, and after the state read, we may remap the vPE back while
the VPT is not empty. So we can't assume that the VPT is empty at
the first map. Besides, the optimization of PTZ is probably limited
since the HW should be fairly efficient to parse the empty VPT. Let's
drop the setting of PTZ altogether.
