KVM: arm-vgic: Add vgic reg access from dev attr
Add infrastructure to handle distributor and cpu interface register
accesses through the KVM_{GET/SET}_DEVICE_ATTR interface by adding the
KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_DIST_REGS and KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_CPU_REGS groups
and defining the semantics of the attr field to be the MMIO offset as
specified in the GICv2 specs.
Missing register accesses or other changes in individual register access
functions to support save/restore of the VGIC state is added in
subsequent patches.
