sched/fair: Update blocked load when newly idle

When NEWLY_IDLE load balance is not triggered, we might need to update the
blocked load anyway. We can kick an ilb so an idle CPU will take care of
updating blocked load or we can try to update them locally before entering
idle. In the latter case, we reuse part of the nohz_idle_balance.
