[PATCH for-4.6 v3 2/3] xl: error out if vNUMA specifies more vcpus than pcpus

[Wei Liu <wei.liu2@citrix.com>]

... but allow user to override that check by specifying maxvcpus= in xl
configuration file.

Note that the code is constructed such that the fallout is dealt with
after parsing. We can live with that because though it wastes a bit of
cpu cycles but it is still functionally correct and I would like to have
a clear split between parsing and dealing with fallouts.
