Subject: [PATCH 3/3] xen: credit2: vCPUs' pause_flags must be accessed
 atomically

The pause_flags field must always be modified atomically, as it is
manupulated (e.g., in schedule.c) without any lock held.

Credit2 code was not doing that, which causes races.

Specifically, we have see cases where the unprotected setting of the
_VPF_migrating flag in csched_credit2:migrate() was racing with the
resetting and testing of the _VPF_blocked flag in
schedule.c:vcpu_unblock() and schedule.c:vcpu_wake(). This caused the
vCPU that was being unblocked to not be put back in the Credit2
runqueue, which then causes other issue.

This unlocked accesses were introduced by ad4b3e1e9df ("xen: credit2:
implement utilization cap") and in 222234f2ad1 ("xen: credit2: use
non-atomic cpumask and bit operations").
