[PATCH v2 2/2] powerpc/xive: clear XIVE internal structures when a CPU is removed

Commit eac1e731b59e ("powerpc/xive: guest exploitation of the XIVE
interrupt controller") introduced support for the XIVE exploitation
mode of the P9 interrupt controller on the pseries platform. 

At that time, support for CPU removal was not complete on PowerVM and
CPU hot unplug remained untested. It appears that some cleanups of the
XIVE internal structures are required before releasing the CPU,
without which the kernel crashes in a rtas call doing the CPU
isolation.

These changes fix the crash by deconfiguring the IPI interrupt source
and clearing the event queues of the CPU when it is removed.
