The caller then continues the find_idlest_group search at a lower level of the current CPU's sched_domain hierarchy. find_idlest_group_cpu is not consulted and, crucially, @new_cpu is not updated. This means the search is pointless and we return @prev_cpu from select_task_rq_fair. This is fixed by initialising @new_cpu to @cpu instead of @prev_cpu.
