dmaengine: idxd: Fix oops during rmmod on single-CPU platforms

During the removal of the idxd driver, registered offline callback is invoked as part of the clean up process. However, on systems with only one CPU online, no valid target is available to migrate the perf context, resulting in a kernel oops:

Fix the issue by preventing the migration of the perf context to an invalid target.
