Subject: [PATCH 5/7] Move idle stat calculation into rebalance_tick()

Perform the idle state determination in rebalance tick.

If we separate balancing from sched_tick then we also need
to determine the idle state in rebalance_tick.

V2->V3
	Remove useless idlle != 0 check. Checking nr_running seems
	to be sufficient. Thanks Suresh.
