[PATCH v8 2/9] KVM: arm/arm64: Factor out functionality to get vgic mmio requester_vcpu

We are about to distinguish between userspace accesses and mmio traps
for a number of the mmio handlers. When the requester vcpu is NULL, it
means we are handling a userspace access.

Factor out the functionality to get the request vcpu into its own
function, mostly so we have a common place to document the semantics of
the return value.

Also take the chance to move the functionality outside of holding a
spinlock and instead explicitly disable and enable preemption. This
supports PREEMPT_RT kernels as well.
