Well, the thing is that in some cases the default is not pinned to all
pCPUs, but rather can be taken from other configuration points, e.g.
global VM pinning bitmap.

As of such the current code does not allow restoring such state since
pinning to all pCPUs might be a desired legitimate configuration so I've
removed the hack that deleted the pinning for such configuration a long
time ago. This means that an explicit removal of the pinning might be a
desired behaviour of the API, since abusing of any other value to
restore the default state is not a good idea.
