xen/x86: prevent PVH type from getting clobbered



[ Upstream commit 9172b5c4 ]

Like xen_start_flags, xen_domain_type gets set before .bss gets cleared.
Hence this variable also needs to be prevented from getting put in .bss,
which is possible because XEN_NATIVE is an enumerator evaluating to
zero. Any use prior to init_hvm_pv_info() setting the variable again
would lead to wrong decisions; one such case is xenboot_console_setup()
when called as a result of "earlyprintk=xen".

Use __ro_after_init as more applicable than either __section(".data") or
__read_mostly.
