sched: introduce a mutex and corresponding API to serialize access to doms_curarray 

doms_cur[] array represents various scheduling domains which are
mutually exclusive. Currently cpusets code can modify this array (by
calling partition_sched_domains()) as a result of user modifying
sched_load_balance flag for various cpusets.

This patch introduces a mutex and corresponding API (only when
CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED is defined) which allows a reader to safely read
the doms_cur[] array w/o worrying abt concurrent modifications to the
array.

The fair group scheduler code (introduced in next patch of this series)
makes use of this mutex to walk thr' doms_cur[] array while rebalancing
shares of task groups across cpus.
