[PATCH V2 1/4] RISC-V: KVM: AIA: Make HGEI number and management fully per-CPU

From: "Guo Ren (Alibaba DAMO Academy)" <guoren at kernel.org>

Previously the number of Hypervisor Guest External Interrupt (HGEI)
lines was stored in a single global variable `kvm_riscv_aia_nr_hgei`
and assumed to be the same for all HARTs. This assumption does not
hold on heterogeneous RISC-V SoCs where different cores may expose
different HGEIE CSR widths.

Introduce `nr_hgei` field into the per-CPU `struct aia_hgei_control`
and probe the actual supported HGEI count for the current HART in
`kvm_riscv_aia_enable()` using the standard RISC-V CSR probe
technique:

    csr_write(CSR_HGEIE, -1UL);
    nr = fls_long(csr_read(CSR_HGEIE));
    if (nr)
        nr--;

All HGEI allocation, free and disable paths (`kvm_riscv_aia_free_hgei()`,
`kvm_riscv_aia_disable()`, etc.) now use the per-CPU value instead of
the global one.

The early global `kvm_riscv_aia_nr_hgei` is kept only for deciding
whether SGEI interrupt registration is needed; the real per-HART
initialization of lock and free_bitmap is moved to enable time.

This makes KVM AIA robust on big.LITTLE-style and multi-vendor
asymmetric platforms.
