sched/fair: Fix usage of find_idlest_group() when the local group is idlest
find_idlest_group() returns NULL when the local group is idlest. The caller then continues the find_idlest_group() search at a lower level of the current CPU's sched_domain hierarchy. find_idlest_group_cpu() is not consulted and, crucially, @new_cpu is not updated. This means the search is pointless and we return @prev_cpu from select_task_rq_fair(). This is fixed by initialising @new_cpu to @cpu instead of @prev_cpu.
