[PATCH 5/8] Move idle status calculation into rebalance_tick()

From: Christoph Lameter
Date: Tue Nov 14 2006 - 15:34:29 EST


Perform the idle state determination in rebalance_tick.

If we separate balancing from sched_tick then we also need
to determine the idle state in rebalance_tick.

V2->V3
Remove useless idlle != 0 check. Checking nr_running seems
to be sufficient. Thanks Suresh.
