Subject: [PATCH v3] time/tick-sched: idle load balancing when nohz_full cpu becomes idle.

When nohz_full CPU stops tick in tick_nohz_irq_exit(),
It wouldn't be chosen to perform idle load balancing because it doesn't
call nohz_balance_enter_idle() in tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() when it
becomes idle.

tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() is only called in idle state and
nohz_balance_enter_idle() tracks the CPU which is part of nohz.idle_cpus_mask
with rq->nohz_tick_stopped.

Change tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() to call nohz_balance_enter_idle()
without checking !was_stopped so that nohz_full cpu can be chosen to
perform idle load balancing when it enters idle state.
