sched: Avoid division by zero
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Patch a500427 (sched: Fix
cgroup smp fairness) introduced the possibility of a
divide-by-zero because load-balancing is not synchronized
between sched_domains.

This can cause the state of cpus to change between the first
and second loop over the sched domain in tg_shares_up().
