Is this correct?

Shouldn't you also inject this to virtual EL2 even when virtual EL2 is
already running as long as the PSTATE.I bit is clear?

You need to take a lock when iterating over this list.

I would prefer to see this check that loops over the AP list as a
separate function that you call, like vgic_vcpu_has_pending_irq.
