Currently the ITS caches are not emptied on reset. After a reset, in case we attempt to save the state before the bound devices have registered their MSIs and after the 1st level table has been allocated by the ITS driver (device BASER is valid), the first level entries are still invalid. If the device cache is not empty (devices registered before the reset), vgic_its_save_device_tables fails. This failure has no consequence as those devices do not deserve to be saved: they correspond to the state before the reset. However the ITS driver already sent MAPC for collections and those need to be saved. With the current code, they will not and the restored guest will not work properly. So this patch saves collection tables before device tables.
