Subject: [PATCH] xen: vcpu_info reinit error after 'xl save -c' & 'xl restore'
 on PVOPS VM which has multi-cpu

If a PVOPS VM has multi-cpu the vcpu_info of cpu0 is the member of the structure HYPERVISOR_shared_info,
and the others is not, but after 'xl save -c/restore' the vcpu_info will be reinitialized,
the vcpu_info of all the vcpus will be considered as the member of HYPERVISOR_shared_info.
This will cause the cpu1 and other cpu keep receiving interrupts, and the cpu0 is waiting them to
finish the job.
So we do not reinit the vcpu_info when PVOPS vm is doing 'xl save -c/restore'.
