sched: Allow for overlapping sched_domain spans

Allow for sched_domain spans that overlap by giving such domains their
own sched_group list instead of sharing the sched_groups amongst
each-other.

This is needed for machines with more than 16 nodes, because
sched_domain_node_span() will generate a node mask from the
16 nearest nodes without regard if these masks have any overlap.

Currently sched_domains have a sched_group that maps to their child
sched_domain span, and since there is no overlap we share the
sched_group between the sched_domains of the various CPUs. If however
there is overlap, we would need to link the sched_group list in
different ways for each cpu, and hence sharing isn't possible.

In order to solve this, allocate private sched_groups for each CPU's
sched_domain but have the sched_groups share a sched_group_power
structure such that we can uniquely track the power.
