Subject[PATCH 2/2] sched: fix a logical error in select_task_rq_fair
Date
If find_idlest_cpu() return '-1', and sd->child is NULL. The function
select_task_rq_fair will return -1. That is not the function's purpose.

The patch introduced a latest_cpu as temporay varible to store
find_idlest_cpu() return value, and let new_cpu to store the latest
workable cpu. If find_idlest_cpu() doesn't find idlest cpu, we still
have a latest workable cpu.
