arm/arm64: KVM: Require in-kernel vgic for the arch timers
It is curently possible to run a VM with architected timers support without creating an in-kernel VGIC, which will result in interrupts from the virtual timer going nowhere. To address this issue, move the architected timers initialization to the time when we run a VCPU for the first time, and then only initialize (and enable) the architected timers if we have a properly created and initialized in-kernel VGIC. When injecting interrupts from the virtual timer to the vgic, the current setup should ensure that this never calls an on-demand init of the VGIC, which is the only call path that could return an error from kvm_vgic_inject_irq(), so capture the return value and raise a warning if there's an error there. We also change the kvm_timer_init() function from returning an int to be a void function, since the function always succeeds.
