I though a bit more of this piece of code.

Your VLPT implementation uses xen_second which is shared between every
vCPU. Therefore restoring VLPT is pointless here.

In another hand, I didn't see anything which prevent you to migrate 2
domain at the same time. You will likely crash one of (if not both) the
guests.
