[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 2/4] xen: sched: deal with vCPUs being or becoming online or offline



If a vCPU is, or is going, offline we want it to be neither
assigned to a pCPU, nor in the wait list, so:
- if an offline vcpu is inserted (or migrated) it must not
  go on a pCPU, nor in the wait list;
- if an offline vcpu is removed, we are sure that it is
  neither on a pCPU nor in the wait list already, so we
  should just bail, avoiding doing any further action;
- if a vCPU goes offline we need to remove it either from
  its pCPU or from the wait list.
