xen: do live patching only from main idle loop
One of the main design goals of core scheduling is to avoid actions
which are not directly related to the domain currently running on a
given cpu or core. Live patching is one of those actions which are
allowed taking place on a cpu only when the idle scheduling unit is
active on that cpu.
Unfortunately live patching tries to force the cpus into the idle loop
just by raising the schedule softirq, which will no longer be
guaranteed to work with core scheduling active. Additionally there are
still some places in the hypervisor calling check_for_livepatch_work()
without being in the idle loop.
It is easy to force a cpu into the main idle loop by scheduling a
tasklet on it. So switch live patching to use tasklets for switching to
idle and raising scheduling events. Additionally the calls of
check_for_livepatch_work() outside the main idle loop can be dropped.
As tasklets are only running on idle vcpus and stop_machine_run()
is activating tasklets on all cpus but the one it has been called on
to rendezvous, it is mandatory for stop_machine_run() to be called on
an idle vcpu, too, as otherwise there is no way for scheduling to
activate the idle vcpu for the tasklet on the sibling of the cpu
stop_machine_run() has been called on.
