riscv: dts: spacemit: k3: fix IMSIC guest parameters

This commit updates the K3 device tree IMSIC guest configurations based on
the SpacemiT K3 User Manual. It lowers guest-index-bits and num-guest-ids
for simsic, and removes them entirely for mimsic.

[Severity: High]
Will reducing riscv,guest-index-bits to 3 break the physical MMIO layout
for secondary CPUs and incorrectly cap the guest interrupt files?

The IMSIC irqchip driver uses riscv,guest-index-bits to determine the
physical MMIO stride between HARTs (stride = BIT(guest-index-bits) * 4096).
By reducing this from 6 to 3, the calculated stride drops from 256 KB to
32 KB.

With a 32 KB stride, CPU 1's supervisor IMSIC file is incorrectly calculated
to be at base + 32 KB. This offset actually hits CPU 0's 8th guest interrupt
file instead of CPU 1's true supervisor file (at 256 KB).

Additionally, the AIA spec states guest files are indexed 1 to GEILEN. With
GEILEN=8, representing index 8 requires at least 4 bits. Setting
guest-index-bits = 3 mathematically limits the maximum addressable index to
7 (BIT(3) - 1), truncating the 8th guest file.

The commit message mentions that KVM will dynamically correct this via
hgeie, but KVM reads nr_guest_files directly from the irqchip driver, which
enforces the BIT(guest-index-bits) - 1 limit. Is it possible this change
will cause MSIs and IPIs for secondary CPUs to fail?
