The idea is from Xen, when sending a call-function IPI-many to vCPUs, 
yield if any of the IPI target vCPUs was preempted. 17% performace 
increase of ebizzy benchmark can be observed in an over-subscribe 
environment. (w/ kvm-pv-tlb disabled, testing TLB flush call-function 
IPI-many since call-function is not easy to be trigged by userspace 
workload).

v1 -> v2:
 * check map is not NULL
 * check map->phys_map[dest_id] is not NULL
