sched: Check if lowest_mask is initialized in find_lowest_rq()

On system boot up, the lowest_mask is initialized with an
early_initcall(). But RT tasks may wake up on other
early_initcall() callers before the lowest_mask is initialized,
causing a system crash.

Commit "d72bce0e67 rcu: Cure load woes" was the first commit
to wake up RT tasks in early init. Before this commit this bug
should not happen.
