This is unnecessary as arm_smccc_1_1_invoke() will return failure if
there's no conduit (or pre-SMCCC 1.1). I suspect this was a copy/paste
from has_pv_steal_clock() which also has the unnecessary check (patch
welcome ;) ).

Since this is a 'OWNER_VENDOR_HYP' call this should really be preceded
by a check that we're running under the expected hypervisor. See e.g.
kvm_init_hyp_services().

Of course for KVM we already have a (different) discovery mechanism and
this could be included as a ARM_SMCCC_KVM_FUNC_xxx feature. This
has_kvm_pvlock() function would then simply be:

static bool has_kvm_pvlock(void)
{
	return kvm_arm_hyp_service_available(ARM_SMCC_KVM_FUNC_PVLOCK);
}
