sched/fair: Fix load_balance() affinity redo path

If load_balance() fails to migrate any tasks because all tasks were
affined, load_balance() removes the source cpu from consideration and
attempts to redo and balance among the new subset of cpus.

There is a bug in this code path where the algorithm considers all active
cpus in the system (minus the source that was just masked out).  This is
not valid for two reasons: some active cpus may not be in the current
scheduling domain and one of the active cpus is dst_cpu. These cpus should
not be considered, as we cannot pull load from them.

Instead of failing out of load_balance(), we may end up redoing the search
with no valid cpus and incorrectly concluding the domain is balanced.
Additionally, if the group_imbalance flag was just set, it may also be
incorrectly unset, thus the flag will not be seen by other cpus in future
load_balance() runs as that algorithm intends.

Fix the check by removing cpus not in the current domain and the dst_cpu
from considertation, thus limiting the evaluation to valid remaining cpus
from which load might be migrated.
