Subject: [PATCH] KVM: arm64: Fix CPUHP logic for protected KVM

For protected kvm, the CPU hotplug 'down' logic currently brings
down the timer and vGIC, essentially disabling interrupts. However,
because of how the 'kvm_arm_hardware_enabled' flag is designed, it
never re-enables them back on the CPU hotplug 'up' path. Hence,
clean up the logic to maintain the CPU hotplug up/down symmetry.

Correct me if I am wrong, but this issue exists outside of cpu hotplug,
right? init_subsystems() calls _kvm_arch_hardware_enable() on all cores,
which only sets up the hyp cpu context and not the percpu interrupts.
Similar issue exists for the cpu that calls do_pkvm_init().

I'll also note kvm_arm_hardware_enabled is deceptively vague, as it only
keeps track of whether or not the hyp cpu context has been initialized.
May send a cleanup here in a bit.

Perhaps this for the changelog:

KVM: arm64: Fix hardware enable/disable flows for pKVM

When running in protected mode, the hyp stub is disabled after pKVM is
initialized, meaning the host cannot enable/disable the hyp at
runtime. As such, kvm_arm_hardware_enabled is always 1 after
initialization, and kvm_arch_hardware_enable() never enables the vgic
maintenance irq or timer irqs.

Unconditionally enable/disable the vgic + timer irqs in the respective
calls, instead relying on the percpu bookkeeping in the generic code
to keep track of which cpus have the interrupts unmasked.

Ah, perhaps I looked at the from a different perspective, but this
makes sense too.

Sure, we can use this for v2.
