KVM: arm/arm64: Use separate timer for phys timer emulation
We were using the same hrtimer for emulating the physical timer and for making sure a blocking VCPU thread would be eventually woken up. That worked fine in the previous arch timer design, but as we are about to actually use the soft timer expire function for the physical timer emulation, change the logic to use a dedicated hrtimer. This has the added benefit of not having to cancel any work in the sync path, which in turn allows us to run the flush and sync with IRQs disabled. Note that the hrtimer used to program the host kernel's timer to generate an exit from the guest when the emulated physical timer fires never has to inject any work, and to share the soft_timer_cancel() function with the bg_timer, we change the function to only cancel any pending work if the pointer to the work struct is not null.
