sched: Do not attempt to destroy uninitialized rt_bandwidth
If a task group is to be created and alloc_fair_sched_group() fails, then the rt_bandwidth of the corresponding task group is not yet initialized. The caller, sched_create_group(), starts a clean up procedure which calls free_rt_sched_group() which unconditionally destroys the not yet initialized rt_bandwidth. This crashes or hangs the system in lock_hrtimer_base(): UP systems dereference a NULL pointer, while SMP systems loop endlessly on a condition that cannot become true. This patch simply avoids the destruction of rt_bandwidth when the initialization code path was not reached. (This was discovered by accident with a custom kernel modification.)
