Revert "xen PVonHVM: move shared_info to MMIO before kexec"

This reverts commit 00e37bdb.

During shutdown of PVHVM guests with more than 2VCPUs on certain
machines we can hit the race where the replaced shared_info is not
replaced fast enough and the PV time clock retries reading the same
area over and over without any any success and is stuck in an
infinite loop.

- * The pfn containing the shared_info is located somewhere in RAM. This
- * will cause trouble if the current kernel is doing a kexec boot into a
- * new kernel. The new kernel (and its startup code) can not know where
- * the pfn is, so it can not reserve the page. The hypervisor will
- * continue to update the pfn, and as a result memory corruption occours
- * in the new kernel.
- *
- * One way to work around this issue is to allocate a page in the
- * xen-platform pci device's BAR memory range. But pci init is done very
- * late and the shared_info page is already in use very early to read
- * the pvclock. So moving the pfn from RAM to MMIO is racy because some
- * code paths on other vcpus could access the pfn during the small
- * window when the old pfn is moved to the new pfn. There is even a
- * small window were the old pfn is not backed by a mfn, and during that
- * time all reads return -1.
- *
- * Because it is not known upfront where the MMIO region is located it
- * can not be used right from the start in xen_hvm_init_shared_info.
- *
- * To minimise trouble the move of the pfn is done shortly before kexec.
- * This does not eliminate the race because all vcpus are still online
- * when the syscore_ops will be called. But hopefully there is no work
- * pending at this point in time. Also the syscore_op is run last which
- * reduces the risk further.
