[RFC PATCH 3/4] linsched: avoid invoke "tick_nohz_idle_enter" when cpu in idle

[Michael Wang <wangyun@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

From: Michael Wang <wangyun@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

In real world, "tick_nohz_idle_enter" will be invoked by idle thread 
when the cpu change from active to idle, and will only be invoked
again after "tick_nohz_idle_exit" was invoked by idle thread when
cpu going to recover.
