sched: Ensure 'sched_domains_numa_levels' is safe to use in other functions We should temporarily reset 'sched_domains_numa_levels' to 0 after it is reset to 'level' in sched_init_numa(). If it fails to allocate memory for array sched_domains_numa_masks[][], the array will contain less then 'level' members. This could be dangerous when we use it to iterate array sched_domains_numa_masks[][] in other functions. This patch set sched_domains_numa_levels to 0 before initializing array sched_domains_numa_masks[][], and reset it to 'level' when sched_domains_numa_masks[][] is fully initialized.
