Subject: [PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 35/86] arm/arm64: KVM: vgic: Check for !irqchip_in_kernel() when mapping resources

3.19.8-ckt9 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Pavel Fedin <p.fedin@...sung.com>

commit c2f58514cfb374d5368c9da945f1765cd48eb0da upstream.

Until b26e5fdac43c ("arm/arm64: KVM: introduce per-VM ops"),
kvm_vgic_map_resources() used to include a check on irqchip_in_kernel(),
and vgic_v2_map_resources() still has it.

But now vm_ops are not initialized until we call kvm_vgic_create().
Therefore kvm_vgic_map_resources() can being called without a VGIC,
and we die because vm_ops.map_resources is NULL.

Fixing this restores QEMU's kernel-irqchip=off option to a working state,
allowing to use GIC emulation in userspace.

Fixes: b26e5fdac43c ("arm/arm64: KVM: introduce per-VM ops")
