[PATCH v2 1/4] KVM: arm64: vgic-its: Don't dereference a NULL collection on ITT save

MAPC with V=0 drops ite->collection but leaves the ITE on the device's
ITT list, and vgic_its_save_ite() dereferences it unconditionally. A
guest that issues MAPD, MAPTI and then MAPC(V=0) therefore oopses the
host when the VMM issues KVM_DEV_ARM_ITS_SAVE_TABLES to migrate it.
That sequence is UNPREDICTABLE per the architecture, but KVM already
handles the resulting state in the translate, MOVI and DISCARD paths.
Save a zeroed entry, which vgic_its_restore_ite() reads back as
invalid. Skipping the ITE instead would leave the ITT slot holding
whatever is in guest memory, and restore rejects an entry naming a
collection the restored collection table does not have.
