 > [ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ]
 > kernel/sched/fair.c:5091 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

This is due to the sched_domain stuff being RCU protected and
commit 0b005cf5 ("sched, nohz: Implement sched group, domain
aware nohz idle load balancing") overlooking this fact.

The sd variable only lives inside the for_each_domain() block,
so we only need to wrap that.
