I found the bug, it was introduced by:

"xen: use vcpu_ops to setup cpu masks"

I have added the fix at the end of my branch and I am also appending the
fix here.

xen: initialize cpu masks for pv guests in xen_smp_init

Pv guests don't have ACPI and need the cpu masks to be set
correctly as early as possible so we call xen_fill_possible_map from
xen_smp_init.
On the other hand the initial domain supports ACPI so in this case we skip
xen_fill_possible_map and rely on it. However Xen might limit the number
of cpus usable by the domain, so we filter those masks during smp
initialization using the VCPUOP_is_up hypercall.
It is important that the filtering is done before
xen_setup_vcpu_info_placement.
