Something like this?

Subject: [PATCH v2] sched/fair: Avoid divide by zero when rebalancing domains

It's possible that the CPU doing nohz idle balance hasn't had its own
load updated for many seconds. This can lead to huge deltas between
rq->avg_stamp and rq->clock when rebalancing, and has been seen to
cause the following crash:

 divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP
 Call Trace:
  [<ffffffff810bcba8>] update_sd_lb_stats+0xe8/0x560
  [<ffffffff810bd04d>] find_busiest_group+0x2d/0x4b0

  [<ffffffff816167d9>] reschedule_interrupt+0xc9/0xd0

Make sure we update the rq clock and load before balancing.
