sched/fair: Add some serialization to the sched_domain load-balance walk
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Since the sched_domain walk is completely unserialized (!SD_SERIALIZE)
it is possible that multiple cpus in the group get elected to do the
next level. Avoid this by adding some serialization.
