Re: [PATCH v2 3/7] xen: cpupool: add a back-pointer from a scheduler to its pool

If we need to know within which pool a particular scheduler
is working, we can do that by querying the cpupool pointer
of any of the sched_resource-s (i.e., ~ any of the CPUs)
assigned to the scheduler itself.

Basically, we pick any sched_resource that we know uses that
scheduler, and we check its *cpupool pointer. If we really
know that the resource uses the scheduler, this is fine, as
it also means the resource is inside the pool we are
looking for.

But, of course, we can do that for a pool/scheduler that has

s/can/can't/ ?

not any been given any sched_resource yet (or if we do not
know whether or not it has any sched_resource).

To overcome such limitation, add a back pointer from the
scheduler, to its own pool.
