Subject: [PATCH] xen/smp: Fix bringup bug in AP code.

The CPU hotplug code has now a callback to help bring up the CPU.
Without the call we end up getting:

 BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 29s! [migration/0:6]
Modules linked in:
CPU ] Pid: 6, comm: migration/0 Not tainted 3.3.0upstream-01180-ged378a5 #1 Dell Inc. PowerEdge T105 /0RR825
RIP: e030:[<ffffffff810d3b8b>]  [<ffffffff810d3b8b>] stop_machine_cpu_stop+0x7b/0xf0
RSP: e02b:ffff8800ceaabdb0  EFLAGS: 00000293
.. snip..
Call Trace:

 [<ffffffff815aacbc>] ? retint_restore_ar

This fixes it.
