Subject: [RESEND PATCH] x86/ioapic: Fix NULL pointer dereference on CPU
 hotplug after disabling irqs

(Previous patch was broken, sorry. Resending with another mailer.)

In current Linux, percpu variable `vector_irq' is not always cleared when
a CPU is offlined. If the CPU that has the disabled irqs in vector_irq is
hotplugged again, __setup_vector_irq() hits invalid irq vector and may
crash.

This bug can be reproduced as following;
 # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu7/online
 # modprobe -r some_driver_using_interrupts     # vector_irq@...7 uncleared
 # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu7/online # kernel may crash

To fix this problem, this patch clears vector_irq in __fixup_irqs() when
the CPU is offlined.

This also reverts commit f6175f5bfb4c, which partially fixes this bug by
clearing vector in __clear_irq_vector(). But in environments with IOMMU IRQ
remapper, it could fail because cfg->domain doesn't contain offlined CPUs.
With this patch, the fix in __clear_irq_vector() can be reverted because
every vector_irq is already cleared in __fixup_irqs() on offlined CPUs.
