KVM: arm64: Kill arch_timer_context::direct field

Browse Source 
The newly introduced arch_timer_context::direct field is a bit pointless,
as it is always set on timers that are... err... direct, while
we already have a way to get to that by doing a get_map() operation.

Additionally, this field is:

- only set when get_map() is called

- never cleared

and the single point where it is actually checked doesn't call get_map()
at all.

At this stage, it is probably better to just kill it, and rely on
get_map() to give us the correct information.
