[patch 2/2] sched: Fix and rate-limit newidle

[Mike Galbraith]

sched: Fix and rate-limit newidle

Commit 1b9508f, "Rate-limit newidle" has been confirmed to fix the netperf
UDP loopback regression reported by Alex Shi.  This is a replacement, moved
to a more out of the way spot, and with a fix to ensure that balancing
doesn't try to balance runqueues which haven't gone online yet, which can
mess up CPU enumeration during boot.
