SubjectRe: [PATCH] sched: arch_reinit_sched_domains() must destroy domains to force rebuild

This fixes the problem on my 32-bit x86 quad-core, dual socket system.
The sched domains are being rebuilt accurately as expected on changing
sched_mc_power_savings.

However, the fix as such should be further reviewed for correctness.
I verified only the rebuilding of sched domains in my system.

Thanks,
Vaidy
