xen: Do not suspend IPI IRQs.
In general the semantics of IPIs are that they are are expected to continue functioning after dpm_suspend_noirq(). Specifically I have seen a deadlock between the callfunc IPI and the stop machine used by xen's do_suspend() routine. If one CPU has already called dpm_suspend_noirq() then there is a window where it can be sent a callfunc IPI before all the other CPUs have entered stop_cpu(). If this happens then the first CPU ends up spinning in stop_cpu() waiting for the other to rendezvous in state STOPMACHINE_PREPARE while the other is spinning in csd_lock_wait().
