Subject: [PATCH v12 15/46] KVM: arm64: Support timers in realm RECs

The RMM keeps track of the timer while the realm REC is running, but on
exit to the normal world KVM is responsible for handling the timers.

A later patch adds the support for propagating the timer values from the
exit data structure and calling kvm_realm_timers_update().

Signed-off-by: Steven Price <steven.price@....com>
---
Changes since v11:
 * Drop the kvm_is_realm() check from timer_set_offset(). We already
   ensure that the offset is 0 when calling the function.
Changes since v10:
 * KVM_CAP_COUNTER_OFFSET is now already hidden by a previous patch.
Changes since v9:
 * No need to move the call to kvm_timer_unblocking() in
   kvm_timer_vcpu_load().
Changes since v7:
 * Hide KVM_CAP_COUNTER_OFFSET for realm guests.
