UPSTREAM: sched/fair: Fix usage of find_idlest_group() when no groups are allowed
When 'p' is not allowed on any of the CPUs in the sched_domain, we currently return NULL from find_idlest_group(), and pointlessly continue the search on lower sched_domain levels (where 'p' is also not allowed) before returning prev_cpu regardless (as we have not updated new_cpu). Add an explicit check for this case, and add a comment to find_idlest_group(). Now when find_idlest_group() returns NULL, it always means that the local group is allowed and idlest.
