[PATCH 11/43] KVM: arm64: gic-v5: Make VPEs valid in vgic_v5_reset()

When resetting VPEs, also mark them as valid in the VM VPE Table. This
is required as it informs the IRS that a specific VPE may be made
resident, and without this the IRS will treat the VPE as invalid.

As part of this change, we also introduce a wrapper around the VPE
doorbells - vgic_v5_send_command(). This takes a struct kvm_vcpu
pointer, and the command to run, and triggers the function bound to
the command via that vcpu's doorbell. This is a convenience function
to simplify the code.
