[PATCH v2 12/16] KVM: arm64: Remove evaluation of timer state in kvm_cpu_has_pending_timer()

The vgic-v5 code added some evaluations of the timers in a helper funtion
(kvm_cpu_has_pending_timer()) that is called to determine whether
the vcpu can wake-up.
But looking at the timer there is wrong:
- we want to see timers that are signalling an interrupt to the
vcpu, and not just that have a pending interrupt
- we already have kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable() that evaluates the
state of interrupts
- kvm_cpu_has_pending_timer() really is about WFIT, as the timeout
does not generate an interrupt, and is therefore distinct from
the point above
As a consequence, revert these changes and teach vgic_v5_has_pending_ppi()
about checking for pending HW interrupts instead.
