[RFC PATCH 2/4] linsched: add check on invoke tick_nohz_irq_exit()in irq_exit()

[Michael Wang]

From: Michael Wang <wangyun@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

tick_nohz_irq_exit() will make sure the tick timer reprogram correctly
after cpu enter idle.

With out this check, after the interrupt, tick timer will be enabled
even cpu is still in idle, this will cause inaccuracy.
