irqchip/gic-v3: Ensure GICR_CTLR.EnableLPI=0 is observed before enabling
Booting with GICR_CTLR.EnableLPI=1 is usually a bad idea, and may result in subtle memory corruption. Detecting this is thus pretty important. On detecting that LPIs are still enabled, we taint the kernel (because we're not sure of anything anymore), and try to disable LPIs. This can fail, as implementations are allowed to implement GICR_CTLR.EnableLPI as a one-way enable, meaning the redistributors cannot be reprogrammed with new tables. Should this happen, we fail probing the redistributor and warn the user that things are pretty dire.
