KVM: arm/arm64: downgrade preempt_disable()d region to migrate_disable()
kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() disables the use of preemption when updating
the vgic and timer states to prevent the calling task from migrating to
another CPU. It does so to prevent the task from writing to the
incorrect per-CPU GIC distributor registers.
On -rt kernels, it's possible to maintain the same guarantee with the
use of migrate_{disable,enable}(), with the added benefit that the
migrate-disabled region is preemptible. Update
kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() to do so.
