Subject: [PATCH] tick/nohz: Make the idle_exittime update correctly

The idle_exittime field of tick_sched is used to record the time when
the idle state was left. but currently the idle_exittime is updated in
the function tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(), which is not always in idle
state when nohz_full is configured.

  tick_irq_exit
    tick_nohz_irq_exit
      tick_nohz_full_update_tick
        tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick
          ts->idle_exittime = now;

So move to tick_nohz_stop_idle() to make the idle_exittime update
correctly.
