[PATCH v2 3/4] KVM: arm64: vgic-its: Don't save collections the table cannot hold

A guest that disables the ITS and rewrites GITS_BASER with fewer pages,
VALID still set, keeps every collection it mapped against the larger
table: KVM stores the new BASER unconditionally and frees the list only
when VALID is cleared. vgic_its_save_collection_table() then walks the
whole list, writing up to 448K past the end of the table, and saves
collection IDs that vgic_its_restore_cte() rejects, so the save succeeds
and the restore fails with -EINVAL on the destination. The overrun stays
in guest memory, as vgic_write_guest_lock() validates every gfn.

Validate each collection against the current table with
vgic_its_check_id() and return -EINVAL, as vgic_its_save_device_tables()
does for devices. Collection IDs are unique and the collection table is
never indirect, so the check also bounds the walk.
