x86/xen: Set EFER.NX and EFER.SCE in PVH guests
This fixes two bugs in PVH guests: - Not setting EFER.NX means the NX bit in page table entries is ignored on Intel processors and causes reserved bit page faults on AMD processors. - After the Xen commit 7645640d6ff1 ("x86/PVH: don't set EFER_SCE for pvh guest") PVH guests are required to set EFER.SCE to enable the SYSCALL instruction. Secondary VCPUs are started with pagetables with the NX bit set so EFER.NX must be set before using any stack or data segment. xen_pvh_cpu_early_init() is the new secondary VCPU entry point that sets EFER before jumping to cpu_bringup_and_idle().
