From: "Ouyang Zhaowei (Charles)" <[email protected]>

commit 6a1f513776b78c994045287073e55bae44ed9f8c upstream.

On a cancelled suspend the vcpu_info location does not change (it's still in the per-cpu area registered by xen_vcpu_setup()). So do not call xen_hvm_init_shared_info() which would make the kernel think its back in the shared info. With the wrong vcpu_info, events cannot be received and the domain will hang after a cancelled suspend.
