IIUC, in such case we construct mpidr which won't match in match_mpidr()
with the value we get from kvm_vcpu_get_mpidr_aff() and no SGI will be
sent to the guest.

Since we get that u64 value from the guest, I'd think it is something
wrong is going on in the guest in case Aff3 is non-zero; however, we can
hide it by zeroing out SGI Aff3 bits in access_gic_sgi().
