[PATCH v3 0/3] KVM: arm/arm64: vgic: Use raw_spinlock for locks taken in IRQ context

Hi,

While testing KVM running on PREEMPT_RT, starting guest could simply
freeze the machine. This is because we are using spinlocks for VGIC
locks, which is invalid in the VGIC case since the locks must be take
with interrupts disabled.

The solution is to use raw_spinlock instead of spinlocks.

Changes since v2[1]:
- Rebase on v5.0-rc1
- Remove first patch from series as it has been applied

Changes since v1[2]:
- Rebase on v4.20-rc4
- Add Christoffer's Acked-by
- Fix potential lock up when waiting for vcpus to halt
