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.)
