sched/topology: Remove redundant variable and fix incorrect type in build_sched_domains

While investigating the sparse warning reported by the LKP bot [1],
observed that we have a redundant variable "top" in the function
build_sched_domains that was introduced in the recent commit
e496132ebedd ("sched/fair: Adjust the allowed NUMA imbalance when
SD_NUMA spans multiple LLCs")

The existing variable "sd" suffices which allows us to remove the
redundant variable "top" while annotating the other variable "top_p"
with the "__rcu" annotation to silence the sparse warning.
