[PATCH v2 1/2] Ensure sched_domains_numa_levels safe in other functions.

[Tang Chen]

We should temporarily reset sched_domains_numa_levels to 0 after
it is reset to 'level' in sched_init_numa(). If it fails to allocate
memory for array sched_domains_numa_masks[][], the array will contain
less then 'level' members. This could be dangerous when we use it to
iterate array sched_domains_numa_masks[][] in other functions.

This patch set sched_domains_numa_levels to 0 before initializing
array sched_domains_numa_masks[][], and reset it to 'level' when
sched_domains_numa_masks[][] is fully initialized.
