[PATCH v2 23/35] sched: handle idle preemption for PREEMPT_AUTO

[Ankur Arora]

When running the idle task, we always want to schedule out immediately.
Use tif_resched(RESCHED_NOW) to do that.

This path should be identical across preemption models which is borne
out by comparing latency via perf bench sched pipe (5 runs):

PREEMPT_AUTO:	  4.430 usecs/op +-    0.080  ( +- 1.800% )
PREEMPT_DYNAMIC:  4.400 usecs/op +-    0.100  ( +- 2.270% )
