[PATCH 4/5] KVM: arm64: vgic: Prevent speculative SPI array underflow

For a non-GICv5 VM, SPI interrupt IDs include the private-interrupt
offset, while KVM's SPI array is indexed from zero. The lookup applies
array_index_nospec() to the absolute interrupt ID and subtracts the
private-interrupt offset afterwards.
On a speculative bypass of the range check for an interrupt ID below
the private range, the clamp preserves the small absolute value and
the subtraction underflows to an out-of-bounds SPI array index.
Convert the interrupt ID to a zero-based index into the SPI array
before applying array_index_nospec(). This way, we ensure that we
clamp to a reachable SPI ID, rather than an out-of-range SPI index.
