Traversing the Perf Domains requires rcu_read_lock() to be held and is
conditional on sched_energy_enabled(). rcu_read_lock() is held while in
load_balance(), add an assert to ensure this is always the case.

Also skip capacity inversion detection for our own pd; which was an
error.

This will trigger in CPU hotplug via build_sched_domains() ->
update_group_capacity() -> update_cpu_capacity() on an EAS system.

This should fix the issue with `cpu` function parameter in its own PD.

I still don't get the benefit of the CPU capacity inversion patches in
tip/sched/core which should be fixed by this patch:

aa69c36f31aa - sched/fair: Consider capacity inversion in
               util_fits_cpu()
44c7b80bffc3 - sched/fair: Detect capacity inversion

I have to ask again. Why should we use thermal_load_avg() instead of
arch_scale_thermal_pressure() for a CPUx in `CPU capacity inversion
state` (i.e. w/ higher `CPU capacity orig` but lower `CPU capacity` than
CPUy?

Thanks for confirming!

Is this directed to me?

If yes, I did answer that here

Thanks a lot Dietmar!
