[PATCH 2.6.13-rc7 1/2] undo partial cpu_exclusive sched domain disabling

[Paul Jackson]

The partial disabling of Dinakar's new facility to allow
cpu_exclusive cpusets to define dynamic sched domains
doesn't go far enough.  At the suggestion of Nick Piggin
and Dinakar, let us instead totally disable this facility
for 2.6.13, in order to avoid problems first reported
by John Hawkes (corrupt sched data structures and kernel oops).

This patch removes the partial disabling code in 2.6.13-rc7,
in anticipation of the next patch, which will totally disable
it instead.
