Subject: arm/arm64: KVM: Fix set_clear_sgi_pend_reg offset

From: Christoffer Dall <[email protected]>

commit 0fea6d7628ed6e25a9ee1b67edf7c859718d39e8 upstream.

The sgi values calculated in read_set_clear_sgi_pend_reg() and write_set_clear_sgi_pend_reg() were horribly incorrectly multiplied by 4 with catastrophic results in that subfunctions ended up overwriting memory not allocated for the expected purpose.

This showed up as bugs in kfree() and the kernel complaining a lot of you turn on memory debugging.

This addresses: http://marc.info/?l=kvm&m=141164910007868&w=2
