VT-d: always clean up dpci timers.

If a VM has all its PCI devices deassigned, need_iommu(d) becomes
false but it might still have DPCI EOI timers that were init_timer()d
but not yet kill_timer()d.  That causes xen to crash later because the
linked list of inactive timers gets corrupted, e.g.:

The following patch makes sure that the domain destruction path always
clears up the DPCI state even if !needs_iommu(d).
