[Xen-devel] [PATCH RFC 36/49] xen/sched: rework and rename vcpu_force_reschedule()

[Juergen Gross <jgross@xxxxxxxx>]

vcpu_force_reschedule() is only used for modifying the periodic timer
of a vcpu. Forcing a vcpu to give up the physical cpu for that purpose
is kind of brutal.

So instead of doing the reschedule dance just operate on the timer
directly.

In case we are modifying the timer of the currently running vcpu we
can just do that. In case it is for a foreign vcpu we should pause it
for that purpose like we do for all other vcpu state modifications.

Rename the function to vcpu_set_periodic_timer() as this now reflects
the functionality.
