Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 49/53] xen: remove stray preempt_disable() from PV AP startup code

From: Juergen Gross <jgross@...e.com>

[ Upstream commit 58e636039b512697554b579c2bb23774061877f5 ]

In cpu_bringup() there is a call of preempt_disable() without a paired
preempt_enable(). This is not needed as interrupts are off initially.
Additionally this will result in early boot messages like:

BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/1/0/0x00000002
