[Xen-devel] [PATCH] xen: sched: get rid of static private schedulers' structures

[Dario Faggioli <dario.faggioli@xxxxxxxxxx>]

In fact, they look rather useless: they are never
referenced neither directly, nor via the sched_data
pointer, as a dynamic copy that overrides them is
allocated as the very first step of a scheduler's
initialization.

While there, take the chance to also reset the sched_data
pointer to NULL, upon scheduler de-initialization.
