firmware: arm_ffa: Skip creation of the notification bitmaps
When the FF-A driver is running inside a guest VM under an hypervisor, the driver/guest VM doesn't have the permission/capability to request the creation of notification bitmaps. For a VM, the hypervisor reserves memory for its VM and hypervisor framework notification bitmaps and the SPMC reserves memory for its SP and SPMC framework notification bitmaps before the hypervisor initializes it. The hypervisor does not initialize a VM if memory cannot be reserved for all its notification bitmaps. So the creation of all the necessary bitmaps are already done when the driver initialises and hence it can be skipped. We rely on FFA_FEATURES(FFA_NOTIFICATION_BITMAP_CREATE) to fail when running in the guest to handle this in the driver.
