KVM: arm/arm64: Move timer/vgic flush/sync under disabled irq

Christoffer Dall · chazy · commit ee9bb9a1e3c6 · 2017-11-06T16:23:12.000+01:00
As we are about to play tricks with the timer to be more lazy in saving
and restoring state, we need to move the timer sync and flush functions
under a disabled irq section and since we have to flush the vgic state
after the timer and PMU state, we do the whole flush/sync sequence with
disabled irqs.

The only downside is a slightly longer delay before being able to
process hardware interrupts and run softirqs.
