KVM: X86: Micro-optimize IPI fastpath delay

This patch optimizes the virtual IPI fastpath emulation sequence:

write ICR2                          send virtual IPI
read ICR2                           write ICR2
send virtual IPI         ==>        write ICR
write ICR

We can observe ~0.67% performance improvement for IPI microbenchmark
