x86/paravirt: Optimize native pv_lock_ops.vcpu_is_preempted()

Browse source 
Avoid the pointless function call to pv_lock_ops.vcpu_is_preempted()
when a paravirt spinlock enabled kernel is ran on native hardware.

Do this by patching out the CALL instruction with "XOR %RAX,%RAX"
which has the same effect (0 return value).
