While I'm at it, Dietmar pointed out to me that this is only really
relevant to forkees and execees when a NULL domain is attached to the CPU
(since sd_init() unconditionally sets SD_BALANCE_{FORK, EXEC}). So this
only makes a difference when the SD hierarchy hasn't been built / is being
rebuilt, or when cpusets are involved.

So perhaps we could make that an unconditional else, or make forkees/execees
bail out earlier.
