KVM: Avoid calling smp_call_function_single() with interrupts disabled 

When taking a cpu down, we need to hardware_disable() it.
Unfortunately, the CPU_DYING notifier is called with interrupts
disabled, which means we can't use smp_call_function_single().

Fortunately, the CPU_DYING notifier is always called on the dying cpu,
so we don't need to use the function at all and can simply call
hardware_disable() directly.
