    credit2: fix credit reset happening too few times
    
    There is a bug in commit 5e4b4199667b9 ("xen: credit2: only reset
    credit on reset condition"). In fact, the aim of that commit was to
    make sure that we do not perform too many credit reset operations
    (which are not super cheap, and in an hot-path). But the check used
    to determine whether a reset is necessary was the wrong one.
    
    In fact, knowing just that some vCPUs have been skipped, while
    traversing the runqueue (in runq_candidate()), is not enough. We
    need to check explicitly whether the first vCPU in the runqueue
    has a negative amount of credit.
    
    Since a trace record is changed, this patch updates xentrace format file
    and xenalyze as well
    
    This should be backported.
