Subject: [PATCH] irqchip/gic-v3-its: Do not assume vPE tables are preallocated

The GIC/ITS code is designed to ensure to pick up any preallocated LPI tables on the redistributors, as enabling LPIs is a one-way switch. There is no such restriction for vLPIs, and for GICv4.1 it is expected to allocate a new vPE table at boot.

This works as intended when initializing an ITS, however when setting up a redistributor in cpu_init_lpis() the early return for preallocated RD tables skips straight past the GICv4 setup. This all comes to a head when trying to kexec() into a new kernel, as the new kernel silently fails to set up GICv4, leading to a complete loss of SGIs and LPIs for KVM VMs.

Slap a band-aid on the problem by ensuring its_cpu_init_lpis() always initializes GICv4 on the way out, even if the other RD tables were preallocated.
