[PATCH 1 of 3] xen: Fix schedule's grabbing of the schedule lock

[George Dunlap]

Because the location of the lock can change between the time you read
it and the time you grab it, the per-cpu schedule locks need to check
after lock acquisition that the lock location hasn't changed, and
release and re-try if so.  This change was effected throughout the
source code, but one very important place was apparently missed: in
schedule() itself.

[PATCH 2 of 3] xen, credit2: Put the per-cpu schedule lock back to the default lock when releasing cpu

[George Dunlap]

This fixes a bug that happens when you remove cpus from a credit2 cpupool.

[PATCH 3 of 3] xen, cpupools: Fix cpupool-move to make more consistent

[George Dunlap]

The full order for creating new private data structures when moving
from one pool to another is now:
* Allocate all new structures
 - Allocate a new private domain structure (but don't point there yet)
 - Allocate per-vcpu data structures (but don't point there yet)
* Remove old structures
 - Remove each vcpu, freeing the associated data structure
 - Free the domain data structure
* Switch to the new structures
 - Set the domain to the new cpupool, with the new private domain structure
 - Set each vcpu to the respective new structure, and insert

This is in line with a (fairly reasonable) assumption in credit2 that the
private structure of the domain will be the private structure pointed to
by the per-vcpu private structure.

Also fix a bug, in which insert_vcpu was called with the *old* vcpu ops
rather than the new ones.
