KVM: arm64: Ensure CPU PMU probes before pKVM host de-privilege



Although pKVM supports CPU PMU emulation for non-protected guests since
722625c6 ("KVM: arm64: Reenable pmu in Protected Mode"), this relies
on the PMU driver probing before the host has de-privileged so that the
'kvm_arm_pmu_available' static key can still be enabled by patching the
hypervisor text.

As it happens, both of these events hang off device_initcall() but the
PMU consistently won the race until 7755cec6 ("arm64: perf: Move
PMUv3 driver to drivers/perf"). Since then, the host will fail to boot
when pKVM is enabled:

Fix the race properly by deferring the de-privilege step to
device_initcall_sync(). This will also be needed in future when probing
IOMMU devices and allows us to separate the pKVM de-privilege logic from
the core hypervisor initialisation path.
