Subject: [PATCH v2] sched/fair: Fixes for capacity inversion detection

Traversing the Perf Domains requires rcu_read_lock() to be held and is
conditional on sched_energy_enabled(). rcu_read_lock() is held while in
load_balance(), add an assert to ensure this is always the case.

Also skip capacity inversion detection for our own pd; which was an
error.

Fixes: 44c7b80bffc3 ("sched/fair: Detect capacity inversion")

Changes in v2:

	* Make sure to hold rcu_read_lock() as we need it's not held in all
	  paths (thanks Dietmar!)
