Subject: [PATCH] scheduler: domain: init next_balance in nohz_idle_balancer with jiffies

From: Diwakar Tundlam <dtundlam@...dia.com>

The next_balance parameter of nohz_idle_balancer should be initialized
to jiffies since jiffies itself is initialized to 300 seconds shy of
overflow. Otherwise, nohz_idle_balancer does not run for the first 5
mins after bootup.
