KVM: arm64: vgic: Rework vgic_is_v3() and add vgic_host_has_gicvX()

Browse source

The GIC version checks used to determine host capabilities and guest
configuration have become somewhat conflated (in part due to the
addition of GICv5 support). vgic_is_v3() is a prime example, which
prior to this change has been a combination of guest configuration and
host cabability.

Split out the host capability check from vgic_is_v3(), which now only
checks if the vgic model itself is GICv3. Add two new functions:
vgic_host_has_gicv3() and vgic_host_has_gicv5(). These explicitly
check the host capabilities, i.e., can the host system run a GICvX
guest or not.

The vgic_is_v3() check in vcpu_set_ich_hcr() has been replaced with
vgic_host_has_gicv3() as this only applies on GICv3-capable hardware,
and isn't strictly only applicable for a GICv3 guest (it is actually
vital for vGICv2 on GICv3 hosts).
