acpi: Fix suspend with Xen PV

Commit f1e525009493 ("x86/boot: Skip realmode init code when running as
Xen PV guest") missed one code path accessing real_mode_header, leading
to dereferencing NULL when suspending the system under Xen:

    [  348.284004] PM: suspend entry (deep)

    [  348.816092] Hardware name: Star Labs StarBook/StarBook, BIOS 8.01 07/03/2022
    [  348.816093] RIP: e030:acpi_get_wakeup_address+0xc/0x20

Fix that by adding an optional acpi callback allowing to skip setting
the wakeup address, as in the Xen PV case this will be handled by the
hypervisor anyway.
