sched: Sched_rt_periodic_timer vs cpu hotplug

Browse source 
Heiko reported a case where a timer interrupt managed to
reference a root_domain structure that was already freed by a
concurrent hot-un-plug operation.

Solve this like the regular sched_domain stuff is also
synchronized, by adding a synchronize_sched() stmt to the free
path, this ensures that a root_domain stays present for any
atomic section that could have observed it.
