    sched/nohz: Clean up nohz enter/exit · 00357f5e
    Peter Zijlstra authored
    The primary observation is that nohz enter/exit is always from the
    current CPU, therefore NOHZ_TICK_STOPPED does not in fact need to be
    an atomic.
    
    Secondary is that we appear to have 2 nearly identical hooks in the
    nohz enter code, set_cpu_sd_state_idle() and
    nohz_balance_enter_idle(). Fold the whole set_cpu_sd_state thing into
    nohz_balance_{enter,exit}_idle.
    
    Removes an atomic op from both enter and exit paths.
