Subject: [PATCH 2/9] xen/smp/spinlock: Fix leakage of the spinlock interrupt line for every CPU online/offline

While we don't use the spinlock interrupt line (see for details
commit f10cd522c5fbfec9ae3cc01967868c9c2401ed23 -
xen: disable PV spinlocks on HVM) - we should still do the proper
init / deinit sequence. We did not do that correctly and for the
CPU init for PVHVM guest we would allocate an interrupt line - but
failed to deallocate the old interrupt line.

This resulted in leakage of an irq_desc but more importantly this splat
as we online an offlined CPU:

genirq: Flags mismatch irq 71. 0002cc20 (spinlock1) vs. 0002cc20 (spinlock1)
Pid: 2542, comm: init.late Not tainted 3.9.0-rc6upstream #1

And if one looks at the /proc/interrupts right after
offlining (CPU1):

  70:          0          0  xen-percpu-ipi       spinlock0
  71:          0          0  xen-percpu-ipi       spinlock1
  77:          0          0  xen-percpu-ipi       spinlock2

There is the oddity of the 'spinlock1' still being present.
