Potential users of that flag could have been cpusets and isolcpus.

cpusets don't need it because they define exclusive (i.e. non-overlapping)
domain spans, see cpuset.cpu_exclusive and cpuset.sched_load_balance.
If such a cpuset contains a single CPU, it will have the NULL domain
attached to it. If it contains several CPUs, none of their domains will
extend beyond the span of the cpuset.

isolcpus apply the same "trick": isolated CPUs are explicitly taken out of
the sched_domain rebuild (using housekeeping_cpumask()), so they get the
NULL domain treatment as well.

The sched_domain systcl interface was the only way to clear that flag, and
it has just been made read-only. Since sd_init() sets it unconditionally,
remove the checks.
