Subject: [PATCH] sched/fair: Fix usage of find_idlest_group() when no groups
 are allowed

References: bnc#1101669 optimise numa balancing for fast migrate
Patch-mainline: v4.15-rc1
Git-commit: 6fee85ccbc76e8aeba43dc120c5fa3c5409a4e2c

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.
