xen: Do not enable spinlocks before jump_label_init() has executed
xen_init_spinlocks() currently calls static_key_slow_inc() before jump_label_init() is invoked. When CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL is set (which usually is the case) the effect of this static_key_slow_inc() is deferred until after jump_label_init(). This is different from when CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL is not set, in which case the key is set immediately. Thus, depending on the value of config option, we may observe different behavior. In addition, when we come to __jump_label_transform() from jump_label_init(), the key (paravirt_ticketlocks_enabled) is already enabled. On processors where ideal_nop is not the same as default_nop this will cause a BUG() since it is expected that before a key is enabled the latter is replaced by the former during initialization. To address this problem we need to move static_key_slow_inc(&paravirt_ticketlocks_enabled) so that it is called after jump_label_init(). We also need to make sure that this is done before other cpus start to boot. early_initcall appears to be a good place to do so. (Note that we cannot move whole xen_init_spinlocks() there since pv_lock_ops need to be set before alternative_instructions() runs.)
