arm64: KVM: vgic-v3: Save maintenance interrupt state only if required



Next on our list of useless accesses is the maintenance interrupt
status registers (ICH_MISR_EL2, ICH_EISR_EL2).

It is pointless to save them if we haven't asked for a maintenance
interrupt the first place, which can only happen for two reasons:
- Underflow: ICH_HCR_UIE will be set,
- EOI: ICH_LR_EOI will be set.

These conditions can be checked on the in-memory copies of the regs.
Should any of these two condition be valid, we must read GICH_MISR.
We can then check for ICH_MISR_EOI, and only when set read
ICH_EISR_EL2.

This means that in most case, we don't have to save them at all.
