tick: Don't invoke tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() if the cpu is offline

commit 5b39939a4 (nohz: Move ts->idle_calls incrementation into strict
idle logic) moved code out of tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() and missed
to bail out when the cpu is offline. That's causing subsequent
failures as an offline CPU is supposed to die and not to fiddle with
nohz magic.

Return false in can_stop_idle_tick() if the cpu is offline.
