Subject: [PATCH V3 01/10] sched/topology: Add check to backup comment about hotplug lock

The comment above function partition_sched_domains() clearly state that
the cpu_hotplug_lock should be held but doesn't mandate one to abide to
it.  Adding an explicit check backs that comment and make it impossible
for anyone to miss the requirement.
