 This bug was reported to me by `hvr` on IRC.  I fixed it in GHC yesterday,
 but we still need a test, and we could potentially merge this to the 7.4
 and 7.6 branches:

 commit 396f09031b363bf2f0d2afa28a86e67a0628a696

     Fix a bug in the handling of recent_activity

     The problem occurred when the idle GC was turned off with +RTS -I0.
     Then the scheduler would go into the state ACTIVITY_DONE_GC directly
     without doing a GC, and a subsequent GC would put it back to
     ACTIVITY_YES but without turning the timer back on.  Instead if the GC
     finds the state is ACTIVITY_DONE_GC it should leave it there.
