Subject: [PATCH v4 5/5] sched/fair: Cleanup for SIS_PROP

The sched-domain of this cpu is only used for some heuristics when
SIS_PROP is enabled, and it should be irrelevant whether the local
sd_llc is valid or not, since all we care about is target sd_llc
if !SIS_PROP.

Access the local domain only when there is a need.
