[PATCH v2 1/5] x86/HVM: introduce hvm_point_entry()

[Jan Beulich <jbeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

... to accompany hvm_read_entry() when actual copying isn't desirable.
This allows to remove open-coded stream accesses from hpet_load(),
along with using the helper in hvm_load() itself.

Since arch_hvm_load()'s declaration would need changing, and since the
function is not used from elsewhere, purge the declaration. With that it
makes little sense to keep arch_hvm_save()'s around; convert that
function to static then at the same time.

In hpet_load() simplify the specific case of error return that's in
context anyway: There's no need to hold the lock when only updating a
local variable.
