xen/smp: Fix crash when booting with ACPI hotplug CPUs.
When we boot on a machine that can hotplug CPUs and we
are using 'dom0_max_vcpus=X' on the Xen hypervisor line
to clip the amount of CPUs available to the initial domain,
we get this:
(XEN) Command line: com1=115200,8n1 dom0_mem=8G noreboot dom0_max_vcpus=8 sync_console mce_verbosity=verbose console=com1,vga loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all
.. snip..
DMI: Intel Corporation S2600CP/S2600CP, BIOS SE5C600.86B.99.99.x032.072520111118 07/25/2011
.. snip.
SMP: Allowing 64 CPUs, 32 hotplug CPUs
installing Xen timer for CPU 7
cpu 7 spinlock event irq 361
NMI watchdog: disabled (cpu7): hardware events not enabled
Brought up 8 CPUs
.. snip..
[acpi processor finds the CPUs are not initialized and starts calling
arch_register_cpu, which creates /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu8/online]
CPU 8 got hotplugged
CPU 9 got hotplugged
CPU 10 got hotplugged
.. snip..
initcall 1_acpi_battery_init_async+0x0/0x1b returned 0 after 406 usecs
calling erst_init+0x0/0x2bb @ 1
[and the scheduler sticks newly started tasks on the new CPUs, but
said CPUs cannot be initialized b/c the hypervisor has limited the
amount of vCPUS to 8 - as per the dom0_max_vcpus=8 flag.
The spinlock tries to kick the other CPU, but the structure for that
is not initialized and we crash.]

With this patch, we cap the amount of vCPUS that the initial domain
can run, to exactly what dom0_max_vcpus=X has specified.
In the future, if there is a hypercall that will allow a running
domain to expand past its initial set of vCPUS, this patch should
be re-evaluated.
