sched: fix the race between walk_tg_tree and sched_create_group
With 2.6.27-rc3, I hit a kernel panic when running volanoMark on my
new x86_64 machine. I also hit it with other 2.6.27-rc kernels.
See below log.
Basically, function walk_tg_tree and sched_create_group have a race
between accessing and initiating tg->children. Below patch fixes it
by moving tg->children initiation to the front of linking tg->siblings
to parent->children.
