[PATCH RESEND v3 3/5] sched/fair: Fix find_idlest_group when local group is not allowed

[Brendan Jackman]

When the local group is not allowed we do not modify this_*_load from
their initial value of 0. That means that the load checks at the end
of find_idlest_group cause us to incorrectly return NULL. Fixing the
initial values to ULONG_MAX means we will instead return the idlest
remote group in that case.
