Subject: [PATCH, RFC] sched: update_top_cache_domain only at the times of
 building sched domain.

 Currently, update_top_cache_domain() is called whenever schedule domain is built or destroyed. But, the following
callpath shows that they're at the same callpath and can be avoided update_top_cache_domain() while destroying schedule
domain and update only at the times of building schedule domains.

	partition_sched_domains()
		detach_destroy_domain()
			cpu_attach_domain()
				update_top_cache_domain()
		build_sched_domains()
			cpu_attach_domain()
				update_top_cache_domain()
