Drop sanity checks on the validity of the previous pCPU when handling
vCPU block/unlock for posted interrupts.  Barring a code bug or memory
corruption, the sanity checks will never fire, and any code bug that does
trip the WARN is all but guaranteed to completely break posted interrupts,
i.e. should never get anywhere near production.

This is the first of several steps toward eliminating kvm_vcpu.pre_cpu.

The idea here is to avoid making things worse by not making the list 
inconsistent.  But that's impossible to do if pre_pcpu goes away, so 
fair enough.
