[RFC PATCH 09/13] KVM: arm64: Couple vSGI enablement with per-vCPU vPE allocation

When KVM_ENABLE_VCPU_VLPI is enabled, vCPU vPEs are
dynamically allocated and dislocated ad-hoc. vSGI
direct injection requires receiving vCPUs to have
vPEs, meaning we must couple vSGI enablement with
vPE allocation to avoid injecting vSGIs to nonexistent
vPEs.

Modify vgic_v4_configure_sgis() to validate whether
a target vCPU has an assigned vPE before calling
vgic_v4_enable_vsgis() on boot. Call vgic_v4_enable_vsgis()
and vgic_v4_disable_vsgis() during vCPU vPE alloc and free
within vLPI enablement and disablement functions.
