We are about to optimize our timer handling logic which involves
injecting irqs to the vgic directly from the irq handler.

Unfortunately, the injection path can take any AP list lock and irq lock
and we must therefore make sure to use spin_lock_irqsave where ever
interrupts are enabled and we are taking any of those locks, to avoid
deadlocking between process context and the ISR.

This changes a lot of the VGIC code, but The good news are that the
changes are mostly mechanical.
