Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 06/17] sched/fair: Export newidle_balance()

From: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@...radead.org>

For pick_next_task_fair() it is the newidle balance that requires
dropping the rq->lock; provided we do put_prev_task() early, we can
also detect the condition for doing newidle early.
