    x86: don't use destroy_xen_mappings() for vunmap()
    
    Its attempt to tear down intermediate page table levels may race with
    map_pages_to_xen() establishing them, and now that
    map_domain_page_global() is backed by vmap() this teardown is also
    wasteful (as it's very likely to need the same address space populated
    again within foreseeable time).
