So I implement it as below:

- HZ=1000.
  1) two cpu hogs on cpu in nohz_full mode, 100% user time
  2) Luzi's testcase, ~95% user time, ~5% idle time (as we expected)
- HZ=250
   1) two cpu hogs on cpu in nohz_full mode, 100% user time
   2) Luzi's testcase, 100% idle

So the codes below still not work correctly for HZ=250, any suggestions?
