sched: hmp: fix out-of-range CPU possiblebig-LITTLE-MP-14.06
If someone hotplugs all the little CPUs while another CPU is handling a wakeup, we can potentially return new_cpu == NR_CPUS from hmp_select_slower_cpu (which is called internally by hmp_best_little_cpu as well). We will use this to deref the per_cpu rq array in hmp_next_down_delay which can go boom. Signed-off-by: Chris Redpath <chris.redpath@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Jon Medhurst <tixy@linaro.org>
