The addition of SD_SERIALIZE flag added to SD_NODE_INIT prevented top level
dummy numa sched_domain to be properly degenerated on non-numa smp machine.
The reason is that in sd_parent_degenerate(), it found that the child and
parent does not have comon sched_domain flags due to SD_SERIALIZE.  However,
for non-numa smp box, the top level is a dummy with a single sched_group.

Filter out SD_SERIALIZE if it is on non-numa machine to properly degenerate
top level node sched_domain.  this will cut back some of the sd domain walk
in the load balancer code.
