[PATCH v2 0/3] irqchip/gic-v3-its: Fix LPI pending table handling vs PREEMPT_RT

Hi folks,

This is my take at fixing [1]. Reading about the LPI tables situation was
entertaining.

Tested against kexec on an Ampere eMAG. Seems to be working fine atop
5.15-rc6. On the other hand, I can only issue one kexec from
5.15-rc6-rt12 - if I then issue another one on the new kernel, I get tasks
hanging. That is true even without my patches and without
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT.

Revisions
=========

v1 -> v2
++++++++

o Ditched RDIST_FLAGS renaming; moved to "RD_LOCAL" prefix for new flags
  (Marc) 
o Simplified cpuhp callback logic: body now runs at most once per CPU
o Changed cpuhp callback installation to happen *after* the BP has invoked
  its_cpu_init(); the BP cpuhp state is immediately set to CPUHP_ONLINE, so
  cpuhp state alone doesn't guarantee its_cpu_init() has been run.
  
Cheers,
Valentin
