[PATCH] KVM: arm64: vgic-v3: Consistently populate ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.GIC

When adding support for the slightly wonky Apple M1, we had to
populate ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.GIC==1 to present something to the guest,
as the HW itself doesn't advertise the feature.

However, we gated this on the in-kernel irqchip being created.
This causes some trouble for QEMU, which snapshots the state of
the registers before creating a virtual GIC, and then tries to
restore these registers once the GIC has been created.  Obviously,
between the two stages, ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.GIC has changed value,
and the write fails.

The fix is to actually emulate the HW, and always populate the
field if the HW is capable of it.

Fixes: 562e530fd770 ("KVM: arm64: Force ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.GIC=1 when exposing a virtual GICv3")
