[PATCH] sched: fix newly idle load balance in case of SMT
In the presence of SMT, newly idle balance was never happening for multi-core and SMP domains (even when both the logical siblings are idle). If thread 0 is already idle and when thread 1 is about to go to idle, newly idle load balance always think that one of the threads is not idle and skips doing the newly idle load balance for multi-core and SMP domains. This is because of the idle_cpu() macro, which checks if the current process on a cpu is an idle process. But this is not the case for the thread doing the load_balance_newidle(). Fix this by using runqueue's nr_running field instead of idle_cpu(). And also skip the logic of 'only one idle cpu in the group will be doing load balancing' during newly idle case.
