To change the active state of an MMIO, halt is requested for all vcpus of
the affected guest before modifying the IRQ state. This is done by calling
cond_resched_lock() in vgic_mmio_change_active(). However interrupts are
disabled at this point and we cannot reschedule a vcpu.

We actually don't need any of this, as kvm_arm_halt_guest ensures that
all the other vcpus are out of the guest. Let's just drop that useless
code.
