Peter Zijlstra 19a1f5ec69 sched: Fix smp_call_function_single_async() usage for ILB
The recent commit: 90b5363acd ("sched: Clean up scheduler_ipi()")
got smp_call_function_single_async() subtly wrong. Even though it will
return -EBUSY when trying to re-use a csd, that condition is not
atomic and still requires external serialization.

The change in kick_ilb() got this wrong.

While on first reading kick_ilb() has an atomic test-and-set that
appears to serialize the use, the matching 'release' is not in the
right place to actually guarantee this serialization.

Rework the nohz_idle_balance() trigger so that the release is in the
IPI callback and thus guarantees the required serialization for the
CSD.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
