[PATCH v3] sched/topology: Balance cluster static-key updates

[Hui Su]

build_sched_domains() increments sched_cluster_active once per newly
built partition that contains an SD_CLUSTER domain.
detach_destroy_domains() instead tested the global static key before
decrementing it, so destroying a cluster-less partition could drop a
reference owned by another partition and disable cluster-aware
scheduling while SD_CLUSTER domains remained installed.

Check the installed domains before detaching them, only while the key is
enabled, and decrement only when the removed partition contains an
SD_CLUSTER domain.

With two cluster-bearing partitions installed, removing a singleton
partition left the baseline count at 1 where 2 partitions still
carried SD_CLUSTER; the fixed kernel correctly reports 2.  On an
asymmetric cluster topology where the parent partition gains no
cluster domain, the baseline count drops to 0 while a cluster
partition remains installed; the fixed kernel keeps it at 1.

Changes in v3:
- Combine SD_CLUSTER detection with the existing domain detach loop,
  avoiding a second CPU mask walk and RCU read-side section.
  (Tim Chen)
- Decrement sched_cluster_active after detaching the domains.
- Add Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx for stable backport consideration.
