xen: do not initialize PV timers on HVM if !xen_have_vector_callback



if !xen_have_vector_callback do not initialize PV timer unconditionally
because we still don't know how many cpus are available and if there is
more than one we won't be able to receive the timer interrupts on
cpu > 0.

This patch fixes an hang at boot when Xen does not support vector
callbacks and the guest has multiple vcpus.
