KVM: arm/arm64: Avoid phys timer emulation in vcpu entry/exit
There is no need to schedule and cancel a hrtimer when entering and exiting the guest, because we know when the physical timer is going to fire when the guest programs it, and we can simply program the hrtimer at that point. Now when the register modifications from the guest go through the kvm_arm_timer_set/get_reg functions, which always call kvm_timer_update_state(), we can simply consider the timer state in this function and schedule and cancel the timers as needed. This avoids looking at the physical timer emulation state when entering and exiting the VCPU, allowing for faster servicing of the VM when needed.
