[IA64] Fix domain reboot bug

Actually domain reboot issue is not caused by our previous patch 
to solve schedule_tail, which instead helps to find a severe HOST_SMP 
plus domain destroy bug.

The major reason is that currently VHPT table for dom0/domU is per LP, 
while domain destroy only issues vhpt_flush on current LP (dom0 is running). 
So VHPT table is not flushed on the LP that destroyed domU is running. 

The mechanism of domain reboot is to kill current domain and create a new 
domain with same configuration. Since region id recycle is added last time 
with domain destroy support, the new created domain will inherit same 
region id as previous one. Under this case, the stale entries in 
VHPT table will make new domU halt.

Before applying our schedule_tail patch, domU will keep same pta 
value as idle domain when first created where vhpt walker is disabled. 
Because we use bvt as default scheduler, context switch never happens 
as long as domU is runnable. That means domU will have vhpt DISABLED 
in whole life cycle. So even vhpt on that LP is not flushed, domU 
still runs correctly.

So we need to send IPI to target LP to flush right vhpt table. Especially, 
based on our previous patch for schedule_tail, domU can get performance 
gain by enabling vhpt walker.
