In a dom0less configuration, if the null scheduler is used, the system

Bisection showed that this behavior occurs since commit d545f1d6 ("xen:
sched: deal with vCPUs being or becoming online or offline") but the
real problem is that, in this case, pick_res() always return the same
CPU.
Fix this by only deal with the simple case, i.e., the vCPU that is
coming online can be assigned to a sched. resource right away, in
null_unit_wake().
If it can't, just add it to the waitqueue, and we will deal with it in
null_schedule(), being careful about not racing with vcpu_wake().
