xenpaging: use poll timeout if no paging target exists

Currently xenpaging will use 100% cpu time if a paging target is not yet
set via xenstore. The reason is that ->use_poll_timeout is initialized
to zero. Another case is when the paging target is set to zero. In this
case ->use_poll_timeout will not be set to 1.

Fix the first case by initializing use_poll_timeout to 1 in
xenpaging_init. The second case is fixed by setting use_poll_timeout in
case the target is zero and there are no more pages left to resume.
