The current 'timecmp' field in vmstate_riscv_mtimer is insufficient to keep timers functional after migration. If an mtimer's entry in 'mtimer->timers' is active at the time the snapshot is taken, it means riscv_aclint_mtimer_write_timecmp() has written to 'mtimecmp' and scheduled a timer into QEMU's main loop 'timer_list'. During snapshot save, these active timers must also be migrated; otherwise, after snapshot load there is no mechanism to restore 'mtimer->timers' back into the 'timer_list', and any pending timer events would be lost. QEMU's migration framework commonly uses VMSTATE_TIMER_xxx macros to save and restore 'QEMUTimer' variables. However, 'timers' is a pointer array with variable length, and vmstate.h did not previously provide a helper macro for such type. This commit adds a new macro, 'VMSTATE_TIMER_PTR_VARRAY', to handle saving and restoring a variable-length array of 'QEMUTimer *'. We then use this macro to migrate the 'mtimer->timers' array, ensuring that timer events remain scheduled correctly after snapshot load.
