Subject: [PATCH] xen/pv: Fix a boot up hang triggered by int3 self test

Commit 7457c0da024b ("x86/alternatives: Add int3_emulate_call()
selftest") reveals a bug in XEN PV int3 assemble code. There is
a double pop of register R11 and RCX currupting the exception
frame, one in xen_int3 and the other in xen_xenint3.

We see below hang at bootup:

general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI
CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.2.0+ #6
RIP: e030:int3_magic+0x0/0x7
Call Trace:
 alternative_instructions+0x3d/0x12e
 check_bugs+0x7c9/0x887
 ?__get_locked_pte+0x178/0x1f0
 start_kernel+0x4ff/0x535
 ?set_init_arg+0x55/0x55
 xen_start_kernel+0x571/0x57a

Fix it by removing xen_xenint3.
