When 'p' is not allowed on any of the CPUs in the sched_domain, we currently return NULL from find_idlest_group(), and pointlessly continue the search on lower sched_domain levels (where 'p' is also not allowed) before returning prev_cpu regardless (as we have not updated new_cpu). Add an explicit check for this case, and add a comment to find_idlest_group(). Now when find_idlest_group() returns NULL, it always means that the local group is allowed and idlest.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
