Subject: [PATCH -tip v2] sched: more sched_domain iterations fix

From: Xiaotian Feng <dfeng@...hat.com>

sched_domain iterations needs to be protected by rcu_read_lock() now,
this patch adds another two places which needs the rcu lock, which is
spotted by following suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage warnings.

kernel/sched_rt.c:1244 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection!
kernel/sched_stats.h:41 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection!
