[PATCH] xenpv: don't BUG when failing to setup NMI callback

[Vitaly Kuznetsov]

some old Xen hypervisors (prior to 3.2) forbid DomUs to register
NMI callbacks. E.g. we have the following code in xen-3.1:

    if ( (d->domain_id != 0) || (v->vcpu_id != 0) )
        return -EINVAL;

Commit 6efa20e49b9cb1db1ab66870cc37323474a75a13 introduced kernel
crash in case PV guest fails to register NMI callback. All x86_64
PV guests will fail to boot on top of such hypervisors (RHEL5
example):

(XEN) traps.c:405:d7 Unhandled invalid opcode fault/trap [#6] in domain 7 on VCPU 0 [ec=0000]
(XEN) domain_crash_sync called from entry.S
(XEN) Domain 7 (vcpu#0) crashed on cpu#3:

...

However it is possible to proceed without NMI callback registered.
Change BUG() with warning in case of -EINVAL.
