[Xen-devel] [PATCH] xen/sched: don't let XEN_RUNSTATE_UPDATE leak into vcpu_runstate_get()

[Juergen Gross <jgross@xxxxxxxx>]

vcpu_runstate_get() should never return a state entry time with
XEN_RUNSTATE_UPDATE set. To avoid this let update_runstate_area()
operate on a local runstate copy.

This problem was introduced with commit 2529c850ea48f036 ("add update
indicator to vcpu_runstate_info").
