xen/time: Fix kasprintf splat when allocating timer%d IRQ line.

Browse source 
When we online the CPU, we get this splat:

smpboot: Booting Node 0 Processor 1 APIC 0x2
installing Xen timer for CPU 1
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at /home/konrad/ssd/konrad/linux/mm/slab.c:3179
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 0, name: swapper/1
Pid: 0, comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 3.9.0-rc6upstream-00001-g3884fad #1

The solution to that is use kasprintf in the CPU hotplug path
that 'online's the CPU. That is, do it in in xen_hvm_cpu_notify,
and remove the call to in xen_hvm_setup_cpu_clockevents.

Unfortunatly the later is not a good idea as the bootup path
does not use xen_hvm_cpu_notify so we would end up never allocating
timer%d interrupt lines when booting. As such add the check for
atomic() to continue.
