[RFC 3/3] sched: ignore task_h_load for CPU_NEWLY_IDLE

A load balancer calculates imbalance factor for particular shed
domain and tries to steal up the prescribed amount of weighted load.
However, a small imbalance factor would sometimes prevent us from
stealing any tasks at all. When a CPU is newly idle, it should
steal first task which passes a migration criteria.
