xen/timers: Fix memory leak with cpu unplug/plug

timer_softirq_action() realloc's itself a larger timer heap whenever
necessary, which includes bootstrapping from the empty dummy_heap.  Nothing
ever freed this allocation.

CPU plug and unplug has the side effect of zeroing the percpu data area, which
clears ts->heap.  This in turn causes new timers to be put on the list rather
than the heap, and for timer_softirq_action() to bootstrap itself again.

This in practice leaks ts->heap every time a CPU is unplugged and replugged.

Implement free_percpu_timers() which includes freeing ts->heap when
appropriate, and update the notifier callback with the recent cpu parking
logic and free-avoidance across suspend.

xen/cpu: Fix ARM build following c/s 597fbb8

c/s 597fbb8 "xen/timers: Fix memory leak with cpu unplug/plug" broke the ARM
build by being the first patch to add park_offline_cpus to common code.

While it is currently specific to Intel hardware (for reasons of being able to
handle machine check exceptions without an immediate system reset), it isn't
inherently architecture specific, so define it to be false on ARM for now.

Add a comment in both smp.h headers explaining the intended behaviour of the
option.

timers: move back migrate_timers_from_cpu() invocation

Commit 597fbb8be6 ("xen/timers: Fix memory leak with cpu unplug/plug")
went a little too far: Migrating timers away from a CPU being offlined
needs to heppen independent of whether it get parked or fully offlined.

xen/timers: Fix memory leak with cpu unplug/plug (take 2)

Previous attempts to fix this leak failed to identify the root cause, and
ultimately failed.  The cause is the CPU_UP_PREPARE case (re)initialising
ts->heap back to dummy_heap, which leaks the previous allocation.

Rearrange the logic to only initialise ts once.  This also avoids the
redundant (but benign, due to ts->inactive always being empty) initialising of
the other ts fields.
