[PATCH 2/4] KVM: arm64: vgic: Wrap vgic_its_create() with config_lock

vgic_its_create() changes the vgic state without holding the
config_lock, which triggers a lockdep warning in vgic_v4_init():

Wrap the whole of vgic_its_create() with config_lock since, in addition
to calling vgic_v4_init(), it also modifies the global kvm->arch.vgic
state.
