Subject: [PATCH] sched domain sysctl: register online cpus

init_sched_domain_sysctl was walking cpus 0-n and referencing per_cpu
variables.  If the cpus_possible mask is not contigious this will result
in a crash referencing unallocated data.  If the online mask is not
contigious then we would show offline cpus and miss online ones.
