Subject: [PATCH] sched/smt: Fix unbalance sched_smt_present dec/inc

I got the following warn report while doing stress test:

jump label: negative count!

Because when cpuset_cpu_inactive() fails in sched_cpu_deactivate(), the cpu offline failed, but sched_smt_present is decremented before calling sched_cpu_deactivate(), it leads to unbalanced dec/inc, so fix it by incrementing sched_smt_present in the error path.
