Subject: tick-sched: Check tick_nohz_enabled in tick_nohz_switch_to_nohz()

From: Viresh Kumar <[email protected]>

commit 27630532ef5ead28b98cfe28d8f95222ef91c2b7 upstream.

Since commit d689fe222 (NOHZ: Check for nohz active instead of nohz
enabled) the tick_nohz_switch_to_nohz() function returns because it
checks for the tick_nohz_active flag. This can't be set, because the
function itself sets it.

Undo the change in tick_nohz_switch_to_nohz().
