[Xen-devel] [for-4.8 PATCH] xen: credit2: fix wrong assert in runq_tickle().

[Dario Faggioli <dario.faggioli@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Since b047f888d489 ("xen: sched: leave CPUs doing tasklet
work alone") a cpu executing a tasklet, is not marked as
idle.

Therefore:
 - avoid asserting that we can't find the idle vcpu running
   on one of them, which is not true,
 - avoid triggering a preemption on them (and add an assert
   checking that).

This fixes a bug identified by OSSTest, in flight 102372
(on ARM, but it's not at all ARM specific), where the
ASSERT() was triggering like this:
