sched/fair: Fix NOHZ next idle balance
[ Upstream commit 3ea2f097b17e13a8280f1f9386c331b326a3dbef ] With commit: 'b7031a02ec75 ("sched/fair: Add NOHZ_STATS_KICK")' rebalance_domains of the local cfs_rq happens before others idle cpus have updated nohz.next_balance and its value is overwritten. Move the update of nohz.next_balance for other idles cpus before balancing and updating the next_balance of local cfs_rq. Also, the nohz.next_balance is now updated only if all idle cpus got a chance to rebalance their domains and the idle balance has not been aborted because of new activities on the CPU. In case of need_resched, the idle load balance will be kick the next jiffie in order to address remaining ilb.
