[PATCH 16/32] KVM: arm64: gic: Introduce irq_queue and set_pending_state to irq_ops

There are times when the default behaviour of vgic_queue_irq_unlock is
undesirable. This is because some GICs, such a GICv5 which is the main
driver for this change, handle the majority of the interrupt lifecycle
in hardware. In this case, there is no need for a per-VCPU AP list as
the interrupt can be made pending directly. This is done either via
the ICH_PPI_x_EL2 registers for PPIs, or with the VDPEND system
instruction for SPIs and LPIs.
The queue_irq_unlock function is made overridable using a new function
pointer in struct irq_ops. In kvm_vgic_inject_irq,
vgic_queue_irq_unlock is overridden if the function pointer is
non-null.
Additionally, a new function is added via a function pointer -
set_pending_state. The intent is for this to be used to directly set
the pending state in hardware.
Both of these new irq_ops are unused in this change - it is purely
providing the infrastructure itself. The subsequent PPI injection
changes provide a demonstration of their usage.
