This patch handles some corner cases when the last assigned device
is removed from the domain. In this case we should carefully handle
pi descriptor and the per-cpu blocking list, to make sure:
- all the PI descriptor are in the right state when next time a
devices is assigned to the domain again.
- No remaining vcpus of the domain in the per-cpu blocking list.

Here we call vmx_pi_list_remove() to remove the vCPU from the blocking list
if it is on the list. However, this could happen when vmx_vcpu_block() is
being called, hence we might incorrectly add the vCPU to the blocking list
while the last devcie is detached from the domain. Consider that the situation
can only occur when detaching the last device from the domain and it is not
a frequent operation, so we use domain_pause before that, which is considered
as an clean and maintainable solution for the situation.

There's one additional caveat here which no-one of us so far thought
of: Currently there's nothing preventing the domctl-s under which
this sits from being issued by the control domain for itself. Various
other domctl-s, however, guard against this case when intending
to pause the target domain. The same needs to be done for the
ones leading here.

Thanks for the comments! Could you share in which case can a domain
attach/detach a device for itself? Thanks!

Thanks,

That's not the question. The code path needs to be safe, just like
all others (which we also expect Dom0 - or any other eligible domain
- to not use with itself as the target domain).

Sure, got it!
