[PATCH 2/2] sched: Check if lowest_mask is initialized in find_lowest_rq

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

On system boot up, the lowest_mask is initialized with early_initcall.
But RT tasks may wake up on other early_initcall callers before the
lowest_mask is initialized, causing a system crash.

The commit d72bce0e67 rcu: Cure load woes
was the first commit to wake up RT tasks in early init. Before this
commit this bug should not happen.
