xen: credit1: fix mask to be used for tickling in Credit1

If there are idle pcpus inside the waking vcpu's
soft-affinity mask, we should really tickle one
of them (this is one of the purposes of the
__runq_tickle() function itself!), not just
any idle pcpu.

The issue has been introduced in 02ea5031825d
("credit1: properly deal with pCPUs not in any cpupool"),
where the usage of idle_mask is changed, without
updating the bottom of the function, where it
is also referenced.
