sched/fair: Default to false in test_idle_cores()

It's uncertain whether idle cores exist or not if shared sched-
domains are not ready, so returning "no idle cores" usually
makes sense.

While __update_idle_core() is an exception, it checks status
of this core and set hint to shared sched-domain if necessary.
So the whole logic of this function depends on the existence
of shared sched-domain, and can certainly bail out early if
it is not available.

It's somehow a little tricky, and as Josh suggested that it
should be transient while the domain isn't ready. So remove
the self-defined default value to make things more clearer.
