arm64: KVM: Use static keys for selecting the GIC backend
Currently GIC backend is selected via alternative framework and this is fine. We are going to introduce vgic-v3 to 32-bit world and there we don't have patching framework in hand, so we can either check support for GICv3 every time we need to choose which backend to use or try to optimise it by using static keys. The later looks quite promising because we can share logic involved in selecting GIC backend between architectures if both uses static keys. This patch moves arm64 from alternative to static keys framework for selecting GIC backend. For that we embed static key into vgic_global and enable the key during vgic initialisation based on what has already been exposed by the host GIC driver.
