[PATCH] sched_domai: Allocate sched_group structures dynamically

As explained here:
	http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=114327539012323&w=2

there is a problem with sharing sched_group structures between two
separate sched_group structures for different sched_domains.

The patch has been tested and found to avoid the kernel lockup problem
described in above URL.
