[PATCH] Fix sched_domain sysctl registration again

[Milton Miller]

commit  029190c515f15f512ac85de8fc686d4dbd0ae731 (cpuset
sched_load_balance flag) was not tested SCHED_DEBUG enabled as
committed as it dereferences NULL when used and it reordered
the sysctl registration to cause it to never show any domains
or their tunables.

Fixes:

1) restore arch_init_sched_domains ordering
	we can't walk the domains before we build them

	presently we register cpus with empty directories (no domain
	directories or files).

2) make unregister_sched_domain_sysctl do nothing when already unregistered
	detach_destroy_domains is now called one set of cpus at a time
	unregister_syctl dereferences NULL if called with a null.

	While the the function would always dereference null if called
	twice, in the previous code it was always called once and then
	was followed a register.  So only the hidden bug of the
	sysctl_root_table not being allocated followed by an attempt to
	free it would have shown the error.

3) always call unregister and register in partition_sched_domains
	The code is "smart" about unregistering only needed domains.
	Since we aren't guaranteed any calls to unregister, always 
	unregister.   Without calling register on the way out we
	will not have a table or any sysctl tree.

4) warn if register is called without unregistering
	The previous table memory is lost, leaving pointers to the
	later freed memory in sysctl and leaking the memory of the
	tables.

Before this patch on a 2-core 4-thread box compiled for SMT and NUMA,
the domains appear empty (there are actually 3 levels per cpu).  And as
soon as two domains a null pointer is dereferenced (unreliable in this
case is stack garbage):
