    xen/sched: setup dom0 vCPUs affinity only once
    
    Right now, affinity for dom0 vCPUs is setup in two steps. This is a
    problem as, at least in Credit2, unit_insert() sees and uses the
    "intermediate" affinity, and place the vCPUs on CPUs where they cannot
    be run. And this in turn results in boot hangs, if the "dom0_nodes"
    parameter is used.
    
    Fix this by setting up the affinity properly once and for all, in
    sched_init_vcpu() called by create_vcpu().
    
    Note that, unless a soft-affinity is explicitly specified for dom0 (by
    using the relaxed mode of "dom0_nodes") we set it to the default, which
    is all CPUs, instead of computing it basing on hard affinity (if any).
    This is because hard and soft affinity should be considered as
    independent user controlled properties. In fact, if we dor derive dom0's
    soft-affinity from its boot-time hard-affinity, such computed value will
    continue to be used even if later the user changes the hard-affinity.
    And this could result in the vCPUs behaving differently than what the
    user wanted and expects.
