    xen: credit2: fix per-entity load tracking when continuing running
    
    If we schedule, and the current vCPU continues to run, its statistical
    load is not properly updated, resulting in something like this, even if
    all the 8 vCPUs are 100% busy:
    
    (XEN) Runqueue 0:
    (XEN) [...]
    (XEN)   aveload            = 2097152 (~800%)
    (XEN) [...]
    (XEN)   Domain: 0 w 256 c 0 v 8
    (XEN)     1: [0.0] flags=2 cpu=4 credit=9996885 [w=256] load=35 (~0%)
    (XEN)     2: [0.1] flags=2 cpu=2 credit=9993725 [w=256] load=796 (~0%)
    (XEN)     3: [0.2] flags=2 cpu=1 credit=9995885 [w=256] load=883 (~0%)
    (XEN)     4: [0.3] flags=2 cpu=5 credit=9998833 [w=256] load=487 (~0%)
    (XEN)     5: [0.4] flags=2 cpu=6 credit=9998942 [w=256] load=1595 (~0%)
    (XEN)     6: [0.5] flags=2 cpu=0 credit=9994669 [w=256] load=22 (~0%)
    (XEN)     7: [0.6] flags=2 cpu=7 credit=9997706 [w=256] load=0 (~0%)
    (XEN)     8: [0.7] flags=2 cpu=3 credit=9992440 [w=256] load=0 (~0%)
    
    As we can see, the average load of the runqueue as a whole is, instead,
    computed properly.
    
    This issue would, in theory, potentially affect Credit2 load balancing
    logic. In practice, however, the problem only manifests (at least with
    these characteristics) when there is only 1 runqueue active in the
    cpupool, which also means there is no need to do any load-balancing.
    
    Hence its real impact is pretty much limited to wrong per-vCPU load
    percentages, when looking at the output of the 'r' debug-key.
    
    With this patch, the load is updated and displayed correctly:
    
    (XEN) Runqueue 0:
    (XEN) [...]
    (XEN)   aveload            = 2097152 (~800%)
    (XEN) [...]
    (XEN) Domain info:
    (XEN)   Domain: 0 w 256 c 0 v 8
    (XEN)     1: [0.0] flags=2 cpu=4 credit=9995584 [w=256] load=262144 (~100%)
    (XEN)     2: [0.1] flags=2 cpu=6 credit=9992992 [w=256] load=262144 (~100%)
    (XEN)     3: [0.2] flags=2 cpu=3 credit=9998918 [w=256] load=262118 (~99%)
    (XEN)     4: [0.3] flags=2 cpu=5 credit=9996867 [w=256] load=262144 (~100%)

    (XEN)     7: [0.6] flags=2 cpu=7 credit=9994623 [w=256] load=262144 (~100%)
    (XEN)     8: [0.7] flags=2 cpu=0 credit=9991815 [w=256] load=262144 (~100%)
