[PATCH 3/3] KVM: arm64: selftests: Test a timer set past the counter's wrap

Program an unmasked timer whose cval sits within long_wait_ms of the
counter's wrap while the guest's counter is at wait_ms, and expect no
interrupt. The guest's counter can't reach it, but a host that applies
the timer's offset by adding it to cval wraps the sum into the past and
fires at once. The one existing case with a cval past the wrap, in the
sanity checks, runs with the timer masked and can't see that.
