[PULL kvm-unit-tests 06/39] arm64: timer: EOIR the interrupt after masking the timer

[Andrew Jones <drjones@redhat.com>]

From: Alexandru Elisei <alexandru.elisei@arm.com>

Writing to the EOIR register before masking the HW mapped timer
interrupt can cause taking another timer interrupt immediately after
exception return. This doesn't happen all the time, because KVM
reevaluates the state of pending HW mapped level sensitive interrupts on
each guest exit. If the second interrupt is pending and a guest exit
occurs after masking the timer interrupt and before the ERET (which
restores PSTATE.I), then KVM removes it.

Move the write after the IMASK bit has been set to prevent this from
happening.
