libxl: fix guest kexec - skip cpuid policy

When a domain performs a kexec (soft reset), libxl__build_pre() is
called with the existing domid.  Calling libxl__cpuid_legacy() on the
existing domain fails since the cpuid policy has already been set, and
the guest isn't rebuilt and doesn't kexec.

xc: error: Failed to set d1's policy (err leaf 0xffffffff, subleaf 0xffffffff, msr 0xffffffff) (17 = File exists): Internal error
libxl: error: libxl_cpuid.c:494:libxl__cpuid_legacy: Domain 1:Failed to apply CPUID policy: File exists
libxl: error: libxl_create.c:1641:domcreate_rebuild_done: Domain 1:cannot (re-)build domain: -3
libxl: error: libxl_xshelp.c:201:libxl__xs_read_mandatory: xenstore read failed: `/libxl/1/type': No such file or directory
libxl: warning: libxl_dom.c:49:libxl__domain_type: unable to get domain type for domid=1, assuming HVM

During a soft_reset, skip calling libxl__cpuid_legacy() to avoid the
issue.  Before commit 34990446ca91, the libxl__cpuid_legacy() failure
would have been ignored, so kexec would continue.

Fixes: 34990446ca91 ("libxl: don't ignore the return value from xc_cpuid_apply_policy")
