In order to handle those unknown cases, we need a unified helper
vgic_write_guest_lock(). struct vgic_dist::save_its_tables_in_progress
is also renamed to struct vgic_dist::save_tables_in_progress.

How about renaming it to 'write_tables_in_progress' which would look a
bit more generic? The rest looks good to me.
