[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 01/11] xen: sched: make implementing .alloc_pdata optional



The .alloc_pdata scheduler hook must, before this change,
be implemented by all schedulers --even those ones that
don't need to allocate anything.

Make it possible to just use the SCHED_OP(), like for
the other hooks, by using ERR_PTR() and IS_ERR() for
error reporting. This:
 - makes NULL a variant of success;
 - allows for errors other than ENOMEM to be properly
   communicated (if ever necessary).

This, in turn, means that schedulers not needing to
allocate any per-pCPU data, can avoid implementing the
hook. In fact, the artificial implementation of
.alloc_pdata in the ARINC653 is removed (and, while there,
nuke .free_pdata too, as it is equally useless).

Changes from v1:
 * only update sd->sched_priv if alloc_pdata does not return
   IS_ERR, so that xfree() can always be safely called on
   sd->sched_priv itself, as requested during review;
 * xen/err.h included in .c files that actually need it,
   instead than in sched-if.h.
