xen/pv: Fix a boot up hang revealed by int3 self test
Commit 7457c0da024b ("x86/alternatives: Add int3_emulate_call()
selftest") is used to ensure there is a gap setup in int3 exception stack
which could be used for inserting call return address.
This gap is missed in XEN PV int3 exception entry path, then below panic
triggered:
[ 0.772876] general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI

For 64bit PV guests, Xen's ABI enters the kernel with using SYSRET, with
%rcx/%r11 on the stack. To convert back to "normal" looking exceptions,
the xen thunks do 'xen_*: pop %rcx; pop %r11; jmp *'.
E.g. Extracting 'xen_pv_trap xenint3' we have:
xen_xenint3:
pop %rcx;
pop %r11;
jmp xenint3
As xenint3 and int3 entry code are same except xenint3 doesn't generate
a gap, we can fix it by using int3 and drop useless xenint3.
