On a GICv2 system, the group status of PPIs and SGIs is set in the GICD_IGROUPR0
register. On a GICv3 system, if affinity routing is enabled for the non-secure
state, then the group status of PPIs and SGIs should be set in the GICR_IGROUPR0
register. ARM Trusted firmware sets the group status using the GICv2
sequence. On a GICv3 system, if the group status of an interrupt is set to Group
1 through a write to the GICD_IGROUPR0, then the GICR_IGROUPR0 is updated as
well.

The current sequence is incorrect since it first marks all PPIs and SGIs as
Group 1. It then clears the bits in GICD_IGROUPR0 corresponding to secure
interrupts to set their group status to Group 0. This operation is a no-op. It
leaves the secure generic timer interrupt (#29) used by the TSP marked as Group
1. This causes the interrupt to interfere with the execution of non-secure
software. Once an interrupt has been marked as Group 1, the GICR_IGROUPR0 should
be programmed to change its group status.

This patch rectifies this issue by setting the group status of only the
non-secure PPI and SGIs to Group 1 in the first place. GICD_IGROUPR0 resets to
0. So secure interrupts are marked as Group 0 by default.
