[PATCH v3] virt: arm-cca-guest: use migrate_disable() for attestation token requests

The RSI attestation token init and continue calls must be issued from
the same CPU. arm_cca_report_new() currently snapshots the CPU number
and uses smp_call_function_single() to issue those calls on that CPU.

With CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y, the smp_processor_id() call used for the
snapshot triggers a debug splat [0] because it runs in preemptible
context. The snapshot does not pin the task to that CPU; it is only used
to choose the target CPU for smp_call_function_single(), which can fail
if that CPU is no longer available.

Use migrate_disable() and issue the token init and continue operations
directly, without the smp_call_function_single() callbacks. This keeps
the token request sequence on the same CPU while preserving a sleepable
context for the GFP_KERNEL allocations needed after the init call.

Changes:
v3:
  - Switch to migrate_disable() and call RSI directly, removing
    smp_call_function_single() (Will, Suzuki)
  - Remove arm_cca_attestation_init() helper and unused fields from
    arm_cca_token_info
  - Drop Reviewed-by tags since the approach changed from v2
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20260519101217.155740-1-enju.kohei@fujitsu.com/
  - Add comment about why this path doesn't use migrate_disable()
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20260518033157.1865498-1-enju.kohei@fujitsu.com/
