Subject: KVM: arm/arm64: vgic: Don't flush/sync without a working vgic

From: Christoffer Dall <[email protected]>

commit 0099b7701f5296a758d9e6b945ec96f96847cc2f upstream.

If the vgic hasn't been created and initialized, we shouldn't attempt to look at its data structures or flush/sync anything to the GIC hardware.

This fixes an issue reported by Alexander Graf when using a userspace irqchip.
