[PATCH for-4.9] Restore HVM_OP hypercall continuation

[George Dunlap <george.dunlap@citrix.com>]

Commit ae20ccf removed the hypercall continuation logic from the end
of do_hvm_op(), claiming:

"This patch removes the need for handling HVMOP restarts, so that
infrastructure is removed."

That turns out to be only half true.  The removal of
HVMOP_set_mem_type removed the need to store a start iteration value
in the hypercall continuation, but a grep through hvm.c for ERESTART
turns up at least two places where do_hvm_op() may still need a
hypercall continuation:

 * HVMOP_set_hvm_param can return -ERESTART when setting
HVM_PARAM_IDENT_PT in the event that it fails to acquire the domctl
lock

 * HVMOP_flush_tlbs can return -ERESTART if several vcpus call it at
   the same time

In both cases, a simple restart (with no stored iteration information)
is necessary.

Add a check for -ERESTART again, along with a comment at the top of
the function regarding the lack of decoding any information from the
op value.

Remove a stray blank line at the end of the file while we're here.
