KVM: arm/arm64: vgic-new: Add userland access to VGIC dist registers

Userland may want to save and restore the state of the in-kernel VGIC,
so we provide the code which takes a userland request and translate
that into calls to our MMIO framework.

From Christoffer:
When accessing the VGIC state from userspace we really don't want a VCPU
to be messing with the state at the same time, and the API specifies
that we should return -EBUSY if any VCPUs are running.
Check and prevent VCPUs from running by grabbing their mutexes, one by
one, and error out if we fail.
(Note: This could potentially be simplified to just do a simple check
and see if any VCPUs are running, and return -EBUSY then, without
enforcing the locking throughout the duration of the uaccess, if we
think that taking/releasing all these mutexes for every single GIC
register access is too heavyweight.)
