KVM: arm/arm64: Move timer save/restore out of the hyp code
As we are about to be lazy with saving and restoring the timer registers, we prepare by moving all possible timer configuration logic out of the hyp code. All virtual timer registers can be programmed from EL1 and since the arch timer is always a level triggered interrupt we can safely do this with interrupts disabled in the host kernel on the way to the guest without taking vtimer interrupts in the host kernel (yet). The downside is that the cntvoff register can only be programmed from hyp mode, so we jump into hyp mode and back to program it. This is also safe, because the host kernel doesn't use the virtual timer in the KVM code. It may add a little performance performance penalty, but only until following commits where we move this operation to vcpu load/put.
