KVM: arm/arm64: Fix timer enable flow
When enabling the timer on the first run, we fail to ever restore the state and mark it as loaded. That means, that in the initial entry to the VCPU ioctl, unless we exit to userspace for some reason such as a pending signal, if the guest programs a timer and blocks, we will wait forever, because we never read back the hardware state (the loaded flag is not set), and so we think the timer is disabled, and we never schedule a background soft timer. The end result? The VCPU blocks forever, and the only solution is to kill the thread.
