sched: Check if lowest_mask is initialized in find_lowest_rq()
On system boot up, the lowest_mask is initialized with an early_initcall(). But RT tasks may wake up on other early_initcall() callers before the lowest_mask is initialized, causing a system crash. Commit "d72bce0e67 rcu: Cure load woes" was the first commit to wake up RT tasks in early init. Before this commit this bug should not happen.
