BACKPORT: sched/fair: Fix find_idlest_group when local group is not allowed

When the local group is not allowed we do not modify this_*_load from
their initial value of 0. That means that the load checks at the end
of find_idlest_group cause us to incorrectly return NULL. Fixing the
initial values to ULONG_MAX means we will instead return the idlest
remote group in that case.

BACKPORT: Note 4.4 is missing commit 6b94780e45 "sched/core: Use
load_avg for selecting idlest group", so we only have to fix
this_load instead of this_runnable_load and this_avg_load.
