Subject: [PATCH -next] x86/xen: fix 'nopvspin' build error

Fix build error in x86/xen/ when PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS is not enabled.

Fixes this build error:

../arch/x86/xen/smp_hvm.c: In function ‘xen_hvm_smp_init’:
../arch/x86/xen/smp_hvm.c:77:3: error: ‘nopvspin’ undeclared (first use in this function)
   nopvspin = true;

Fixes: 3d7746bea925 ("x86/xen: Fix xen_hvm_smp_init() when vector callback not available")

I tried to use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS) on the if line
and on the nopvspin assignment line but both of those failed for me--
using gcc 7.5.0.
