From: Alexandru Elisei <alexandru.elisei@xxxxxxx> kvm_timer_enable() is called in kvm_vcpu_first_run_init() after kvm_vgic_map_resources() if the VGIC wasn't ready. kvm_vgic_map_resources() is the only place where kvm->arch.vgic.ready is set to true. For a v2 VGIC, kvm_vgic_map_resources() will attempt to initialize the VGIC and set the initialized flag. For a v3 VGIC, kvm_vgic_map_resources() will return an error code if the VGIC isn't already initialized. The end result is that if we've reached kvm_timer_enable(), the VGIC is initialzed and ready and vgic_initialized() will always be true, so remove this check.
