When accidentally setting “kvm-arm.vgic_v4_enable=1” on a system that has
no MSI controller device tree node and GICv4, it results a panic as
“gic_domain” is NULL and the kernel attempts to access it.
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address

Set vLPI support to false at init time if the host has no ITS, so it
propagates properly to kvm_vgic_global_state.has_gicv4.
