sched: Fix smp_call_function_single_async() usage for ILB
The recent commit: 90b5363acd47 ("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.
