[PATCH v1 2/3] DCA, x86: restart DCA operations in unregister_dca_provider()

[Jiang Liu]

When deregistering a DCA device, function unregister_dca_provider() will
notify clients by DCA_PROVIDER_REMOVE to stop DCA operations at beginning.
Currently DCA operations won't be restarted by unregister_dca_provider()
even if there are still DCA devices left. This may cause trouble to systems
with multiple DCA devices/IOHs. So restart DCA operations if there are
still DCA devices left after removing a DCA device.
