However it is not always true, since sched_groups preallocated in __sdt_alloc are initialized in build_sched_groups and it may exit early if (cpu != cpumask_first(sched_domain_span(sd))) return 0; without initializing sd->groups->next field. Fix bug by initializing next field right after sched_group was allocated.
