The hypercall VCPUOP_register_vcpu_info can fail. This failure is
handled by making per_cpu(xen_vcpu, cpu) point to its shared_info
slot and those without one (cpu >= MAX_VIRT_CPUS) be NULL.
For PVH/PVHVM, this is not enough, because we also need to pull
these VCPUs out of circulation.
Fix for PVH/PVHVM: on registration failure in the cpuhp prepare
callback (xen_cpu_up_prepare_hvm()), return an error to the cpuhp
state-machine so it can fail the CPU init.
Fix for PV: the registration happens before smp_init(), so, in the
failure case we clamp setup_max_cpus and limit the number of VCPUs
that smp_init() will bring-up to MAX_VIRT_CPUS.
This is functionally correct but it makes the code a bit simpler
if we get rid of this explicit clamping: for VCPUs that don't have
valid xen_vcpu, fail the CPU init in the cpuhp prepare callback
(xen_cpu_up_prepare_pv()).
