[PATCH] sched/fair: Minor making update_blocked_load_status() be able to set has_blocked_load to 1

[Tao Zhou]

I realize that newidle_balance() can not set rq->has_blocked_load to 1
when it has block load. When no task pulled then nohz_newidle_balance()
will set flag NOHZ_NEWILB_KICK to trigger ILB. In do_idle(),
nohz_run_idle_balance() will call _nohz_idle_balance() to update status
using update_nohz_stats() to make sure there has blocked load. If it is
not set in newidle_balance(), update_nohz_stats() will exit early and do
not do update_blocked_averages()(time spent from newidle_balance() to
update_nohz_stats will not be used to update load avg). There has
chance to call cpuidle_idle_call() to set  has_blocked_load to 1 and
can also update later but if cpuidle_idle_call() is not called, the
lost update in nohz_run_idle_balance() will not be permitted that me not
thoroughly think. I know this is likely a invalid commit log.
