x86/pvh: Set phys_base when calling xen_prepare_pvh()
[ Upstream commit b464b461d27d564125db760938643374864c1b1f ]
phys_base needs to be set for __pa() to work in xen_pvh_init() when
finding the hypercall page. Set it before calling into
xen_prepare_pvh(), which calls xen_pvh_init(). Clear it afterward to
avoid __startup_64() adding to it and creating an incorrect value.
