Suresh Siddha 245af2c787 [PATCH] sched: remove degenerate domains
Remove degenerate scheduler domains during the sched-domain init.

For example on x86_64, we always have NUMA configured in.  On Intel EM64T
systems, top most sched domain will be of NUMA and with only one sched_group
in it.

With fork/exec balances(recent Nick's fixes in -mm tree), we always endup
taking wrong decisions because of this topmost domain (as it contains only one
group and find_idlest_group always returns NULL).  We will endup loading HT
package completely first, letting active load balance kickin and correct it.

In general, this patch also makes sense with out recent Nick's fixes in -mm.

From: Nick Piggin <nickpiggin@yahoo.com.au>

Modified to account for more than just sched_groups when scanning for
degenerate domains by Nick Piggin.  And allow a runqueue's sd to go NULL
rather than keep a single degenerate domain around (this happens when you run
with maxcpus=1).
