[PATCH 4/4] KVM: arm64: vgic-v2: Don't init the vgic on in-kernel interrupt injection

We how have the lazy init on three paths:
- on first run of a vcpu
- on first injection of an interrupt from userspace
- on first injection of an interrupt from kernel space
Given that we recompute the state of each in-kernel interrupt
every time we are about to enter the guest, we can drop the lazy
init from the kernel injection path.
This solves a bunch of issues related to vgic_lazy_init() being called
in non-preemptible context.
