Disable the optimized APIC logical map if multiple vCPUs are aliased to

the MDA are supposed to receive the interrupt; overwriting existing map
entries can result in missed IPIs.

Should this be checking if the cluster[ldr] is pointing to the same struct apic instead? For example:

if (!is_power_of_2(mask) || cluster[ldr] != apic)

From my observation, the kvm_recalculate_apic_map() can be called many times, and the cluster[ldr] could have already been assigned from the previous invocation. So, as long as it is the same, it should be okay.
