x86/xen: Support the vCPU preemption check

Support the vcpu_is_preempted() functionality under Xen. This will
enhance lock performance on overcommitted hosts (more runnable vCPUs
than physical CPUs in the system) as doing busy waits for preempted
vCPUs will hurt system performance far worse than early yielding.

A quick test (4 vCPUs on 1 physical CPU doing a parallel build job
with "make -j 8") reduced system time by about 5% with this patch.
