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



In current Linux, percpu variable `vector_irq' is not cleared on
offlined cpus while disabling devices' irqs. If the cpu that has
the disabled irqs in vector_irq is hotplugged,
__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

This patch fixes this bug by clearing vector_irq in
__clear_irq_vector() even if the cpu is offlined.
