[XEN PATCH v2] tools/misc: xen-hvmcrash: Inject #DF instead of overwriting RIP

[Matthew Barnes <matthew.barnes@xxxxxxxxx>]

xen-hvmcrash would previously save records, overwrite the instruction
pointer with a bogus value, and then restore them to crash a domain
just enough to cause the guest OS to memdump.

This approach is found to be unreliable when tested on a guest running
Windows 10 x64, with some executions doing nothing at all.

Another approach would be to trigger NMIs. This approach is found to be
unreliable when tested on Linux (Ubuntu 22.04), as Linux will ignore
NMIs if it is not configured to handle such.

Injecting a double fault abort to all vCPUs is found to be more
reliable at crashing and invoking memdumps from Windows and Linux
domains.

This patch modifies the xen-hvmcrash tool to inject #DF to all vCPUs
belonging to the specified domain, instead of overwriting RIP.

Changes in v2:
- Use xendevicemodel API instead of legacy devicemodel API
- Return error status code if no vcpus could be injected
- Use existing exception vector macro defined in `x86-defns.h`
- Clean up unnecessary headers
- Fix NULL build errors
