Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xen: fix is_xen_pmu()
is_xen_pmu() is taking the cpu number as parameter, but it is not using
it. Instead it just tests whether the Xen PMU initialization on the
current cpu did succeed. As this test is done by checking a percpu
pointer, preemption needs to be disabled in order to avoid switching
the cpu while doing the test. While resuming from suspend() this seems
not to be the case:

Fix that by replacing is_xen_pmu() by a simple boolean variable which
reflects the Xen PMU initialization state on cpu 0.
Modify xen_pmu_init() to return early in case it is being called for a
cpu other than cpu 0 and the boolean variable not being set.
