[PATCH] KVM: VMX: add vcpu_clear()

Like the inline code it replaces, this function decaches the vmcs from the cpu
it last executed on.  in addition:

 - vcpu_clear() works if the last cpu is also the cpu we're running on
 - it is faster on larger smps by virtue of using smp_call_function_single()

Includes fix from Ingo Molnar.
