This is the third version of this series aiming at fixing issues with
vgic-v2 being initialised from non-preemptible context.

* From v2 [2]:

  - Remove the PMU's irq level cache which was hidding in plain sight

  - Simplify the userspace notification of interrupt level update

  - Additional comment clarification in patch #1

  - Collected RB, with thanks

* From v1 [1]:

  - Repaint kvm_timer_irq_can_fire() to kvm_timer_enabled()

  - Drop duplicate kvm_timer_update_status() call

  - Force lazy init on the irqfd slow-path for SPIs
