The xen_sched_clock calls are as a result of the various printks, e.g.
in xen_vcpu_setup, in order to add the timestamp to the output.
Therefore we need to ensure we reset the runstate info before any
printks.

Subject: re-register runstate area earlier on resume.

This is necessary to ensure the runstate area is available to
xen_sched_clock before any calls to printk which will require it in
order to provide a timestamp.

I chose to pull the xen_setup_runstate_info out of xen_time_init into
the caller in order to maintain parity with calling
xen_setup_runstate_info separately from calling xen_time_resume.
