credit1: fix tickling when it happens from a remote pCPU

especially if that is also from a different cpupool than the
processor of the vCPU that triggered the tickling.

In fact, it is possible that we get as far as calling vcpu_unblock()-->
vcpu_wake()-->csched_vcpu_wake()-->__runq_tickle() for the vCPU 'vc',
but all while running on a pCPU that is different from 'vc->processor'.

For instance, this can happen when an HVM domain runs in a cpupool,
with a different scheduler than the default one, and issues IOREQs
to Dom0, running in Pool-0 with the default scheduler.
In fact, right in this case, the following crash can be observed:

In this case, pCPU 7 is not in Pool-0, while the (Dom0's) vCPU being
woken is. pCPU's 7 pool has a different scheduler than credit, but it
is, however, right from pCPU 7 that we are waking the Dom0's vCPUs.
Therefore, the current code tries to access csched_balance_mask for
pCPU 7, but that is not defined, and hence the Oops.

(Note that, in case the two pools run the same scheduler we see no
Oops, but things are still conceptually wrong.)

Cure things by making the csched_balance_mask macro accept a
parameter for fetching a specific pCPU's mask (instead than always
using smp_processor_id()).
