xen: Have schedulers revise initial placement
The generic domain creation logic in
xen/common/domctl.c:default_vcpu0_location() attempts to try to do
initial placement load-balancing by placing vcpu 0 on the least-busy
non-primary hyperthread available. Unfortunately, the logic can end
up picking a pcpu that's not in the online mask. When this is passed
to a scheduler such which assumes that the initial assignment is
valid, it causes a null pointer dereference looking up the runqueue.
Furthermore, this initial placement doesn't take into account hard or
soft affinity, or any scheduler-specific knowledge (such as historic
runqueue load, as in credit2).
To solve this, when inserting a vcpu, always call the per-scheduler
"pick" function to revise the initial placement. This will
automatically take all knowledge the scheduler has into account.
csched2_cpu_pick ASSERTs that the vcpu's pcpu scheduler lock has been
taken. Grab and release the lock to minimize time spend with irqs
disabled.
