    xen: credit: (micro) optimize csched_runq_steal().
    
    Checking whether or not a vCPU can be 'stolen'
    from a peer pCPU's runqueue is relatively cheap.
    
    Therefore, let's do that  as early as possible,
    avoiding potentially useless complex checks, and
    cpumask manipulations.
