kvm, arm: Don't forward IRQ/FIQ when using the kernel's GIC
The BaseArmKvmCPU is responsible for forwarding the IRQ and FIQ signals from gem5's simulated GIC to KVM. However, these signals shouldn't be used when the in-kernel GIC emulator is used. Instead of delivering the interrupts to the guest, we should just ignore them since any such pending interrupts are likely to be an artifact of CPU switching or incorrect draining.
