[PATCH 10/18] KVM: arm64: arch_timer: Remove VGIC initialization check

From: Marc Zyngier <maz@kernel.org>
Date: 2021-01-07 11:52:38
Also in: kvm, kvmarm
Subsystem: arm64 port (aarch64 architecture), kernel virtual machine for arm64 (kvm/arm64), the rest · Maintainers: Catalin Marinas, Will Deacon, Marc Zyngier, Oliver Upton, Linus Torvalds

From: Alexandru Elisei <redacted>

kvm_timer_enable() is called in kvm_vcpu_first_run_init() after
kvm_vgic_map_resources() if the VGIC wasn't ready. kvm_vgic_map_resources()
is the only place where kvm->arch.vgic.ready is set to true.

For a v2 VGIC, kvm_vgic_map_resources() will attempt to initialize the VGIC
and set the initialized flag.

For a v3 VGIC, kvm_vgic_map_resources() will return an error code if the
VGIC isn't already initialized.

The end result is that if we've reached kvm_timer_enable(), the VGIC is
initialzed and ready and vgic_initialized() will always be true, so remove
this check.
