sched: fix a bug in sched domain degenerate

Impact: re-add incorrectly eliminated sched domain layers

(1) on i386 with SCHED_SMT and SCHED_MC enabled
	# mount -t cgroup -o cpuset xxx /mnt
	# echo 0 > /mnt/cpuset.sched_load_balance
	# mkdir /mnt/0
	# echo 0 > /mnt/0/cpuset.cpus
	# dmesg
	CPU0 attaching sched-domain:
	 domain 0: span 0 level CPU
	  groups: 0

(2) on i386 with SCHED_MC enabled but SCHED_SMT disabled
	# same with (1)
	# dmesg
	CPU0 attaching NULL sched-domain.

The bug is that some sched domains may be skipped unintentionally when
degenerating (optimizing) sched domains.
