KVM: Remove kvm_make_all_cpus_request_except()

Remove kvm_make_all_cpus_request_except() as it effectively has no users,
and arguably should never have been added in the first place.

Commit 54163a3 ("KVM: Introduce kvm_make_all_cpus_request_except()")
added the "except" variation for use in SVM's AVIC update path, which used
it to skip sending a request to the current vCPU (commit 7d61123
("KVM: SVM: Disable AVIC before setting V_IRQ")).

But the AVIC usage of kvm_make_all_cpus_request_except() was essentially a
hack-a-fix that simply squashed the most likely scenario of a racy WARN
without addressing the underlying problem(s).  Commit f1577ab ("KVM:
SVM: svm_set_vintr don't warn if AVIC is active but is about to be
deactivated") eventually fixed the WARN itself, and the "except" usage was
subsequently dropped by df63202 ("KVM: x86: APICv: drop immediate
APICv disablement on current vCPU").

That kvm_make_all_cpus_request_except() hasn't gained any users in the
last ~3 years isn't a coincidence.  If a VM-wide broadcast *needs* to skip
the current vCPU, then odds are very good that there is underlying bug
that could be better fixed elsewhere.
