sched/fair: Fix sched domains NULL dereference in select_idle_sibling()

  10e2f1acd0 ("sched/core: Rewrite and improve select_idle_siblings()")

... improved select_idle_sibling(), but also triggered a regression (crash)
during CPU-hotplug:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000078
  IP: [<ffffffffb10cd332>] select_idle_sibling+0x1c2/0x4f0

This can be reproduced by running the ftrace test case of kselftest, the
test case will hot-unplug the CPU and the CPU will attach to the NULL
sched-domain during scheduler teardown.

The step 2 for the rewrite select_idle_siblings():

  | Step 2) tracks the average cost of the scan and compares this to the
  | average idle time guestimate for the CPU doing the wakeup.

If the CPU which doing the wakeup is the going hot-unplug CPU, then NULL
sched domain will be dereferenced to acquire the average cost of the scan.

This patch fix it by failing the search of an idle CPU in the LLC process
if this sched domain is NULL.
