sched: Fix dynamic power-balancing crash

sched_balance_self+0x19b/0x2d4
Triggers because update_group_power() modifies the sd tree and does
temporary calculations there - not considering that other CPUs
could observe intermediate values, such as the zero initial value.
Calculate it in a temporary variable instead. (we need no memory
barrier as these are all statistical values anyway)
