sched/fair: Remove update of blocked load from newidle_balance newidle_balance runs with both preempt and irq disabled which prevent local irq to run during this period. The duration for updating the blocked load of CPUs varies according to the number of CPU cgroups with non-decayed load and extends this critical period to an uncontrolled level. Remove the update from newidle_balance and trigger a normal ILB that will take care of the update instead. This reduces the IRQ latency from O(nr_cgroups * nr_nohz_cpus) to O(nr_cgroups).
