[ Upstream commit 8b37357a78d7fa13d88ea822b35b40137da1c85e ]
Xen disables ACPI for PV guests in DomU, which causes acpi_mps_check() to return 1 when CONFIG_X86_MPPARSE is not set. As a result, the local APIC is disabled and the guest is later limited to a single vCPU, despite being configured with more.
This regression was introduced in version 6.9 in commit 7c0edad3643f ("x86/cpu/topology: Rework possible CPU management"), which added an early check that limits CPUs to 1 if apic_is_disabled.
Update the acpi_mps_check() logic to return 0 early when running as a Xen PV guest in DomU, preventing APIC from being disabled in this specific case and restoring correct multi-vCPU behaviour.
