[PATCH v3 07/62] KVM: SVM: Delete IRTE link from previous vCPU irrespective of new routing

Delete the IRTE link from the previous vCPU irrespective of the new
routing state, i.e. even if the IRTE won't be configured to post IRQs to a
vCPU.  Whether or not the new route is postable as no bearing on the *old*
route.  Failure to delete the link can result in KVM incorrectly updating
the IRTE, e.g. if the "old" vCPU is scheduled in/out.
