When the timer is disabled (the *_CTL_EL0.ENABLE bit is clear) or the
timer interrupt is masked at the timer level (the *_CTL_EL0.IMASK bit is
set), timer interrupts must not be pending or asserted by the VGIC.
However, only when the timer interrupt is masked, we can still check
that the timer condition is met by reading the *_CTL_EL0.ISTATUS bit.
This test was used to discover a bug and test the fix introduced by KVM
commit 16e604a437c8 ("KVM: arm/arm64: vgic: Reevaluate level sensitive
interrupts on enable").
