KVM: arm/arm64: Avoid work when userspace iqchips are not used
We currently check if the VM has a userspace irqchip in several places along the critical path, and if so, we do some work which is only required for having an irqchip in userspace. This is unfortunate, as we could avoid doing any work entirely, if we didn't have to support irqchip in userspace. Realizing the userspace irqchip on ARM is mostly a developer or hobby feature, and is unlikely to be used in servers or other scenarios where performance is a priority, we can use a refcounted static key to only check the irqchip configuration when we have at least one VM that uses an irqchip in userspace.
