If an isolated root partition becomes invalid (new_prs == PRS_ERROR)...

...this seems to erase information about CS_SCHED_LOAD_BALANCE zeroness.

IOW, if there's an isolated partition that becomes invalid and later
valid again (a cpu is (re)added), it will be a normal root partition
without the requested isolation, which is IMO undesired.

I may have overlooked something in broader context but it seems to me
the invalidity should be saved independently of the root/isolated type.
