[RFC][PATCH 4/5] sched/fair: Push rq lock pin/unpin into idle_balance()

[Matt Fleming]

Future patches will emit warnings if rq_clock() is called before
update_rq_clock() inside a rq_pin_lock()/rq_unpin_lock() pair.

Since there is only one caller of idle_balance() we can push the
unpin/repin there.
