We are probably going to need per-subsystem name spaces, so how about
rcu_dereference_check_sched_domain()?  Again, if agreeable, will send
updated patch stack.

							Thanx, Paul

sched: better name for for_each_domain_rd

As suggested by Peter Ziljstra, make better choice of name
for for_each_domain_rd(), containing "rcu_dereference", given
that it is but a wrapper for rcu_dereference_check().  The name
rcu_dereference_check_sched_domain() does that and provides a separate
per-subsystem name space.
