[PATCH] KVM: arm/arm64: timer: Fix hw sync for user space irqchip path

While adding the new vgic implementation, apparently nobody tested
the non-vgic path where user space controls the vgic, so two functions
slipped through the cracks that get called in generic code but don't
check whether hardware support is enabled.

This patch guards them with proper checks to ensure we only try to
use vgic data structures if they are available. Without this, I get
a stack trace:
