KVM: arm/arm64: GICv4: Prevent userspace from changing doorbell affinity
We so far allocate the doorbell interrupts without taking any special measure regarding the affinity of these interrupts. We simply move them around as required when the vcpu gets scheduled on a different CPU. But that's counting without userspace (and the evil irqbalance) that can try and move the VPE interrupt around, causing the ITS code to emit VMOVP commands and remap the doorbell to another redistributor. Worse, this can happen while the vcpu is running, causing all kind of trouble if the VPE is already resident, and we end-up in UNPRED territory. So let's take a definitive action and prevent userspace from messing with us. This is just a matter of adding IRQ_NO_BALANCING to the set of flags we already have, letting the kernel in sole control of the affinity.
