[Resend PATCH 1/2] Xen/Keyhandler: Make keyhandler always run in tasklet

[Lan Tianyu <tianyu.lan@intel.com>]

Keyhandler may run for a long time in a timer handler on the large machine
with a lot of physical cpus(E,G keyhandler for dumping timer info) when serial
port driver works in the poll mode. When timer interrupt arrives, timer subsystem
runs all timer handlers before programming next timer interrupt. So if timer handler
runs longer than time for watchdog timeout, the timer handler of watchdog will be
blocked to feed watchdog and xen hypervisor panics. This patch is to fix the issue
via always scheduling a tasklet to run keyhandler to avoid timer handler running
too long.
