KVM: arm64: gic-v3: Only set ICH_HCR traps for v2-on-v3 or v3 guests

Browse source

The ICH_HCR_EL2 traps are used when running on GICv3 hardware, or when
running a GICv3-based guest using FEAT_GCIE_LEGACY on GICv5
hardware. When running a GICv2 guest on GICv3 hardware the traps are
used to ensure that the guest never sees any part of GICv3 (only GICv2
is visible to the guest), and when running a GICv3 guest they are used
to trap in specific scenarios. They are not applicable for a
GICv2-native guest, and won't be applicable for a(n upcoming) GICv5
guest.

The traps themselves are configured in the vGIC CPU IF state, which is
stored as a union. Updating the wrong aperture of the union risks
corrupting state, and therefore needs to be avoided at all costs.

Bail early if we're not running a compatible guest (GICv2 on GICv3
hardware, GICv3 native, GICv3 on GICv5 hardware). Trap everything
unconditionally if we're running a GICv2 guest on GICv3
hardware. Otherwise, conditionally set up GICv3-native trapping.
