sched: add sched-domain roots



We add the notion of a root-domain which will be used later to rescope
global variables to per-domain variables.  Each exclusive cpuset
essentially defines an island domain by fully partitioning the member cpus
from any other cpuset.  However, we currently still maintain some
policy/state as global variables which transcend all cpusets.  Consider,
for instance, rt-overload state.

Whenever a new exclusive cpuset is created, we also create a new
root-domain object and move each cpu member to the root-domain's span.
By default the system creates a single root-domain with all cpus as
members (mimicking the global state we have today).

We add some plumbing for storing class specific data in our root-domain.
Whenever a RQ is switching root-domains (because of repartitioning) we
give each sched_class the opportunity to remove any state from its old
domain and add state to the new one.  This logic doesn't have any clients
yet but it will later in the series.
