x86/xen: fix percpu vcpu_info allocation


[ Upstream commit db283230 ]

Today the percpu struct vcpu_info is allocated via DEFINE_PER_CPU(),
meaning that it could cross a page boundary. In this case registering
it with the hypervisor will fail, resulting in a panic().

This can easily be fixed by using DEFINE_PER_CPU_ALIGNED() instead,
as struct vcpu_info is guaranteed to have a size of 64 bytes, matching
the cache line size of x86 64-bit processors (Xen doesn't support
32-bit processors).

Fixes: 5ead97c8 ("xen: Core Xen implementation")
