x86/xen: remove deprecated xen_nopvspin boot parameter

The xen_nopvspin boot parameter is deprecated since 2019. nopvspin
can be used instead.

Remove the xen_nopvspin boot parameter and replace the xen_pvspin
variable use cases with nopvspin.

This requires to move the nopvspin variable out of the .initdata
section, as it needs to be accessed for cpuhotplug, too.
