This can't possibly be correct. AFAICT, dest_vcpu is guaranteed to be
*NULL* when kvm_apic_map_get_dest_lapic() returns false, and on top of
that I'm pretty sure it's not intended to be indexed by the vcpu index.

But vcpus_idx isn't needed here, you already have @vcpu, and even that
is superfluous as @i itself is the vcpu index.

It's probably worth manually testing this path by forcing @ret to false,
I'm guessing it's not being hit in normal operation.

kvm_make_all_cpus_request() should call this new function, the code is
identical except for its declared vcpu_bitmap.
