Treat zero cpu shares as a valid value
changed this behavior.
After this commit, if you set cpu_shares to 0 via schedinfo --config, the 0
will be written in the XML and used on domain startup.
To use the default value, the <shares> element needs to be removed from the
XML before restarting the domain, this cannot be currently done via 'virsh
schedinfo'.
