Subject: [PATCH v4 2/3] x86/xen/time: setup vcpu 0 time info page

In order to support pvclock vdso on xen we need to setup the time
info page for vcpu 0 and register the page with Xen using the
VCPUOP_register_vcpu_time_memory_area hypercall. This hypercall
will also forcefully update the pvti which will set some of the
necessary flags for vdso. Afterwards we check if it supports the
PVCLOCK_TSC_STABLE_BIT flag which is mandatory for having
vdso/vsyscall support. And if so, it will set the cpu 0 pvti that
will be later on used when mapping the vdso image.

The xen headers are also updated to include the new hypercall for
registering the secondary vcpu_time_info struct.

Changes since v3:
 (Comments from Juergen)
 * Remove _t added suffix from *GUEST_HANDLE* when sync vcpu.h
 with the latest

Changes since v2:
 (Comments from Juergen)
 * Omit the blank after the cast on all 3 occurrences.
 * Change last VCLOCK_PVCLOCK message to be more descriptive
 * Sync the complete vcpu.h header instead of just adding the
 needed one. (IOW adding VCPUOP_get_physid)

Changes since v1:
 * Check flags ahead to see if the  primary clock can use
 PVCLOCK_TSC_STABLE_BIT even if secondary registration fails.
 (Comments from Boris)
 * Remove addr, addr variables;
 * Change first pr_debug to pr_warn;
 * Change last pr_debug to pr_notice;
 * Add routine to solely register secondary time info.
 * Move xen_clock to outside xen_setup_vsyscall_time_info to allow
 restore path to simply re-register secondary time info. Let us
 handle the restore path more gracefully without re-allocating a
 page.
 * Removed cpu argument from xen_setup_vsyscall_time_info()
 * Adjustment failed registration error messages/loglevel to be the same
 * Also teardown secondary time info on suspend

Changes since RFC:
 (Comments from Boris and David)
 * Remove Kconfig option
 * Use get_zeroed_page/free/page
 * Remove the hypercall availability check
 * Unregister pvti with arg.addr.v = NULL if stable bit isn't supported.
 (New)
 * Set secondary copy on restore such that it works on migration.
 * Drop global xen_clock variable and stash it locally on
 xen_setup_vsyscall_time_info.
 * WARN_ON(ret) if we fail to unregister the pvti.
