sched/topology, cpuset: Account for housekeeping CPUs to avoid empty cpumasks

Michal noted that a cpuset's effective_cpus can be a non-empy mask, but
because of the masking done with housekeeping_cpumask(HK_FLAG_DOMAIN)
further down the line, we can still end up with an empty cpumask being
passed down to partition_sched_domains_locked().

Do the proper thing and don't just check the mask is non-empty - check
that its intersection with housekeeping_cpumask(HK_FLAG_DOMAIN) is
non-empty.
