[PATCH v3 62/66] KVM: arm64: nv: Sync nested timer state with ARMv8.4

From: Christoffer Dall <christoffer.dall at arm.com>

Emulating the ARMv8.4-NV timers is a bit odd, as the timers can
be reconfigured behind our back without the hypervisor even
noticing. In the VHE case, that's an actual regression in the
architecture...
