x86/ioapic: Fix NULL pointer dereference on CPU hotplug after disabling irqs

In the current kernel, 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@cpu7 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.
