[PATCH v4 13/16] KVM: arm64: nv: Propagate used_lrs between L1 and L0 contexts

We have so far made sure that L1 and L0 vgic contexts were
totally independent. There is however one spot of bother with
this approach, and that's in the GICv3 emulation code required by
our fruity friends.

The issue is that the emulation code needs to know how many LRs
are in flight. And while it is easy to reach the L0 version through
the vcpu pointer, doing so for the L1 is much more complicated,
as these structures are private to the nested code.

We could simply expose that structure and pick one or the other
depending on the context, but this seems extra complexity for not
much benefit.

Instead, just propagate the number of used LRs from the nested code
into the L0 context, and be done with it. Should this become a burden,
it can be easily rectified.
