Subject[PATCH] xen: Don't call arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace in dom0(pvm)
nmi isn't supported in dom0, fallback to general all cpu backtrace code.

Without fix, on xapic system, sysrq+l, no backtrace is showed.
On x2apic enabled system, got NULL pointer dereference as below.

SysRq : Show backtrace of all active CPUs
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
