sched: Sched_rt_periodic_timer vs cpu hotplug
Heiko reported a case where a timer interrupt managed to reference a root_domain structure that was already freed by a concurrent hot-un-plug operation. Solve this like the regular sched_domain stuff is also synchronized, by adding a synchronize_sched() stmt to the free path, this ensures that a root_domain stays present for any atomic section that could have observed it.
