When the system is heavily overcommitted, kvm_s390_pv_init_vm might
generate stall notifications.

Fix this by using uv_call_sched instead of just uv_call. This is ok because
we are not holding spinlocks.

I guess this should only happen for really large guests where the donated memory is also large?
