Commit 8916fcf4577 "x86/domain: compile with lock_profile=y enabled"
allowed the struct domain to use more than a PAGE_SIZE (i.e 4096).
However, the function free_domheap_struct() will only free the first
page.

We could modify the free part to free the correct number of pages, but
the structure has been fitting in a page (even with lock profile
enabled) since commit 428607a410 "x86: shrink 'struct domain', was
already PAGE_SIZE" (part of Xen 4.7).

Therefore, the specific case for lock profile is now removed.

This is not a security issue because struct domain can only be bigger
than a page size for lock profiling. The feature can only be selected
in DEBUG and EXPERT mode.
