[PATCH] xen/smp: Fixup NOHZ per cpu data when onlining an offline CPU.

[Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>]

The xen_play_dead is an undead function. When the vCPU is told to
offline it ends up calling xen_play_dead wherin it calls the
VCPUOP_down hypercall which offlines the vCPU. However, when the
vCPU is onlined back, it resumes execution right after
VCPUOP_down hypercall.

That was OK (albeit the API for play_dead assumes that the CPU
stays dead and never returns) but with commit 4b0c0f294
(tick: Cleanup NOHZ per cpu data on cpu down) that is no longer safe
as said commit resets the ts->inidle which at the start of the
cpu_idle loop was set.

The net effect is that we get this warn:

Broke affinity for irq 16
installing Xen timer for CPU 1
cpu 1 spinlock event irq 48

b/c ts_inidle is set to zero. Thomas suggested that we just add a workaround
to call tick_nohz_idle_enter before returning from xen_play_dead() - and
that is what this patch does and fixes the issue.

We also add the stable part b/c git commit 4b0c0f294 is on the stable
tree.
