[XEN PATCH 6/9] x86/shutdown: protect against recurrent machine_restart()

[Krystian Hebel <krystian.hebel@xxxxxxxxx>]

If multiple CPUs called machine_restart() before actual restart took
place, but after boot CPU declared itself not online, ASSERT in
on_selected_cpus() will fail. Few calls later execution would end up
in machine_restart() again, with another frame on call stack for new
exception.

To protect against running out of stack, code checks if boot CPU is
still online before calling on_selected_cpus().
