x86, x2apic: Minimize IPI register writes using cluster groups

In the case of x2apic cluster mode we can group IPI register
writes based on the cluster group instead of individual per-cpu
destination messages.

This reduces the apic register writes and reduces the amount of
IPI messages (in the best case we can reduce it by a factor of
16).

With this change, the cost of flush_tlb_others(), with the flush
tlb IPI being sent from a cpu in the socket-1 to all the logical
cpus in socket-2 (on a Westmere-EX system that has 20 logical
cpus in a socket) is 3x times better now (compared to the former
'send one-by-one' algorithm).
