[PATCH] KVM: riscv: Avoid redundant interrupt check for pending timers

kvm_vcpu_check_block() calls kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable() before
checking whether a timer is pending. On RISC-V, kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable()
already checks all pending guest interrupts through
kvm_riscv_vcpu_has_interrupts(vcpu, -1UL), including IRQ_VS_TIMER.
Drop the repeated IRQ_VS_TIMER pending-interrupt check from
kvm_riscv_vcpu_timer_pending() and keep the helper focused on the timer
deadline state. If the timer becomes pending after the runnable check,
the timer path still injects IRQ_VS_TIMER and kicks the vCPU through the
normal wakeup path.
