    sched: Fix nohz balance kick · f6c3f168
    Suresh Siddha authored
    There's a situation where the nohz balancer will try to wake itself:
    
    cpu-x is idle which is also ilb_cpu
    got a scheduler tick during idle
    and the nohz_kick_needed() in trigger_load_balance() checks for
    rq_x->nr_running which might not be zero (because of someone waking a
    task on this rq etc) and this leads to the situation of the cpu-x
    sending a kick to itself.
    
    And this can cause a lockup.
    
    Avoid this by not marking ourself eligible for kicking.
