arm64: KVM: vgic-v3: Save maintenance interrupt state only if required
Next on our list of useless accesses is the maintenance interrupt status registers (ICH_MISR_EL2, ICH_EISR_EL2). It is pointless to save them if we haven't asked for a maintenance interrupt the first place, which can only happen for two reasons: - Underflow: ICH_HCR_UIE will be set, - EOI: ICH_LR_EOI will be set. These conditions can be checked on the in-memory copies of the regs. Should any of these two condition be valid, we must read GICH_MISR. We can then check for ICH_MISR_EOI, and only when set read ICH_EISR_EL2. This means that in most case, we don't have to save them at all.
