Subject: [RFC PATCH 4/4] sched/nohz_full: give correct cpu load for nohz_full cpu

When a nohz_full cpu in tickless mode, it may update cpu_load in
following chain:
__tick_nohz_full_check
    tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick
        update_cpu_load_nohz
then it will be set a incorrect cpu_load: 0.
This patch try to fix it and give it the correct cpu_load value.
