[PATCH] sched: fix newly idle load balance in case of SMT
In the presence of SMT, newly idle balance was never happening for
multi-core and SMP domains (even when both the logical siblings are
idle).
If thread 0 is already idle and when thread 1 is about to go to idle,
newly idle load balance always think that one of the threads is not idle
and skips doing the newly idle load balance for multi-core and SMP
domains.
This is because of the idle_cpu() macro, which checks if the current
process on a cpu is an idle process. But this is not the case for the
thread doing the load_balance_newidle().
Fix this by using runqueue's nr_running field instead of idle_cpu(). And
also skip the logic of 'only one idle cpu in the group will be doing
load balancing' during newly idle case.
