Subject: [PATCH 04/10] tick/nohz: Update idle_exittime on actual idle exit

From: Yunfeng Ye <yeyunfeng@...wei.com>

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;

It's thus overwritten by mistake on nohz_full tick restart. Move the
update to the appropriate idle exit path instead.
