xen/livepatch: do Xen build-id check earlier

The check against the expected Xen build ID should be done ahead of attempting
to apply the alternatives contained in the livepatch.

If the CPUID in the alternatives patching data is out of the scope of the
running Xen featureset the BUG() in _apply_alternatives() will trigger thus
bringing the system down.  Note the layout of struct alt_instr could also
change between versions.  It's also possible for struct exception_table_entry
to have changed format, hence leading to other kind of errors if parsing of the
payload is done ahead of checking if the Xen build-id matches.

Move the Xen build ID check as early as possible.  To do so introduce a new
check_xen_buildid() function that parses and checks the Xen build-id before
moving the payload.  Since the expected Xen build-id is used early to
detect whether the livepatch payload could be loaded, there's no reason to
store it in the payload struct, as a non-matching Xen build-id won't get the
payload populated in the first place.

Note printing the expected Xen build ID has part of dumping the payload
information is no longer done: all loaded payloads would have Xen build IDs
matching the running Xen, otherwise they would have failed to load.
