Subject: [PATCH resend] sched: Fix sd->*_idx limit range avoiding overflow

Commit 201c373e8e ("sched/debug: Limit sd->*_idx range on sysctl")
was an incomplete bug fix. This patch fixs sd->*_idx limit range to
[0 ~ CPU_LOAD_IDX_MAX - 1] avioding array overflow caused by setting
sd->*_idx to CPU_LOAD_IDX_MAX on sysctl.
