sched/topology, cpuset: Avoid spurious/wrong domain rebuilds
When disabling cpuset.sched_load_balance we expect to be able to online CPUs without generating sched_domains. However this is currently completely broken. What happens is that we generate the sched_domains and then destroy them. This is because of the spurious 'default' domain build in cpuset_update_active_cpus(). That builds a single machine wide domain and then schedules a work to build the 'real' domains. The work then finds there are _no_ domains and destroys the lot again. Furthermore, if there actually were cpusets, building the machine wide domain is actively wrong, because it would allow tasks to 'escape' their cpuset. Also I don't think its needed, the scheduler really should respect the active mask.
