[PATCH 1/5] irqchip/gic-v5: Skip deactivate for forwarded PPI interrupts

If a PPI interrupt is forwarded to a guest, skip the deactivate and
only EOI. Rely on the guest deactivating the both the virtual and
physical interrupts (due to ICH_LRx_EL2.HW being set) later on as part
of handling the injected interrupt. This mimics the behaviour seen on
native GICv3.

This is part of adding support for the GICv3 compatibility mode on a
GICv5 host.
