sched: fix nohz load balancer on cpu offline
Christian Borntraeger reports:
> After a logical cpu offline, even on a complete idle system, there
> is one cpu with full ticks. It turns out that nohz.cpu_mask has the
> the offlined cpu still set.

> In select_nohz_load_balancer() we check if the system is completely

Fix the select_nohz_load_balancer() to not set the nohz.cpu_mask
while a cpu is going offline.
