[PATCH 2/3] KVM: arm64: selftests: fix thread migration in arch_timer_edge_cases

arch_timer_edge_cases tries to migrate itself across host cpus. Before
the first test it migrates to cpu 0 by setting up an affinity mask with
only bit 0 set. After that it looks for the next possible cpu in the
current affinity mask which still has only bit 0 set. So there is no
migration at all.

Fix this by reading the default mask at start and use this to find
the next cpu in each iteration.
