    x86/domctl: have XEN_DOMCTL_getpageframeinfo3 preemptible
    
    This hypercall can take a long time to finish because it attempts to
    grab the `hostp2m' lock up to 1024 times. The accumulated wait for the
    lock can take several seconds.
    
    This can easily happen with a guest with 32 vcpus and plenty of RAM,
    during localhost migration.
    
    While the patch doesn't fix the problem with the lock contention and
    the fact that the `hostp2m' lock is currently global (and not on a
    single page), it is still an improvement to the hypercall. It will in
    particular, down the road, allow dropping the arbitrary limit of 1024
    entries per request.
