x86/acpi: Don't limit CPUs to 1 for Xen PV guests due to disabled ACPI
Xen disables ACPI for PV guests in DomU, which causes acpi_mps_check() to
return 1 when CONFIG_X86_MPPARSE is not set. As a result, the local APIC is
disabled and the guest is later limited to a single vCPU, despite being
configured with more.
This regression was introduced in version 6.9 in commit 7c0edad3643f
("x86/cpu/topology: Rework possible CPU management"), which added an
early check that limits CPUs to 1 if apic_is_disabled.
Update the acpi_mps_check() logic to return 0 early when running as a Xen
PV guest in DomU, preventing APIC from being disabled in this specific case
and restoring correct multi-vCPU behaviour.

Out of curiosity, why did you remove the Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org trailer? I thought it should be backported as it is a regression. Thanks, Petr

Accidentally. Ooops.
The stable bot should pick it up nevertheless because of the Fixes tag
once it hit Linus tree. If it does not after a week or so, please send a
backport request to the stable folks.
