arm64: KVM: Disable virtual timer even if the guest is not using it
commit c4cbba9fa078f55d9f6d081dbb4aec7cf969e7c7 upstream. When running a guest with the architected timer disabled (with QEMU and the kernel_irqchip=off option, for example), it is important to make sure the timer gets turned off. Otherwise, the guest may try to enable it anyway, leading to a screaming HW interrupt. The fix is to unconditionally turn off the virtual timer on guest exit.
