We go through quite a bit of trouble to make sure we pick up any
preallocated LPI tables on the redistributors, as enabling LPIs is a
one-way switch. There is no such restriction for vLPIs, and for GICv4.1
we expect to allocate a new vPE table at boot.
This works as intended when initializing an ITS, however when setting up
a redistributor in its_cpu_init_lpis() the early return for preallocated
RD tables skips straight past GICv4 setup. This all comes to a head when
trying to kexec into a new kernel, as the new kernel silently fails to
set up GICv4, leading to a complete loss of SGIs and LPIs for KVM VMs
(ouch).
Slap a band-aid on the problem by ensuring its_cpu_init_lpis() always
initializes GICv4 on the way out, even if the other RD tables were
preallocated.

I debated a bit on the fixes tag between the blamed commit and commit
5e5168461c22 ("irqchip/gic-v4.1: VPE table (aka GICR_VPROPBASER)
allocation"), although it would appear GICv4 could be left in an unknown
state after kexec too.

irqchip/gic-v3-its: Do not assume vPE tables are preallocated
The GIC/ITS code is designed to ensure to pick up any preallocated LPI
tables on the redistributors, as enabling LPIs is a one-way switch. There
is no such restriction for vLPIs, and for GICv4.1 it is expected to
allocate a new vPE table at boot.
This works as intended when initializing an ITS, however when setting up a
redistributor in cpu_init_lpis() the early return for preallocated RD
tables skips straight past the GICv4 setup. This all comes to a head when
trying to kexec() into a new kernel, as the new kernel silently fails to
set up GICv4, leading to a complete loss of SGIs and LPIs for KVM VMs.
Slap a band-aid on the problem by ensuring its_cpu_init_lpis() always
initializes GICv4 on the way out, even if the other RD tables were
preallocated.
