[PATCH v4] xen: sched: fix deadlock when changing scheduling parameters

[PATCH v4] xen: sched: fix deadlock when changing scheduling parameters

[Chong Li]

Commit f7b87b0745b4 ("enable per-VCPU parameter for RTDS") introduced
a bug: it made it possible, in Credit and Credit2, when doing domain
or vcpu parameters' manipulation, to leave the hypervisor with a
spinlock held and interrupts disabled.

Fix it.
