[PATCH] libxl: stop libxl_domain_info() consuming massive amounts of stack

[Paul Durrant <paul@xxxxxxx>]

From: Paul Durrant <pdurrant@xxxxxxxxxx>

Currently an array of 1024 xc_domaininfo_t is declared on stack. That alone
consumes ~112k. Since libxl_domain_info() creates a new gc this patch simply
uses it to allocate the array instead.

This is small and IMO it would be nice to have this in 4.14 but I'd like an
opinion from a maintainer too.
