sched: Prevent raising SCHED_SOFTIRQ when CPU is !active
SCHED_SOFTIRQ is raised to trigger periodic load balancing. When CPU is not
active, CPU should not participate in load balancing.
The scheduler uses nohz.idle_cpus_mask to keep track of the CPUs which can
do idle load balancing. When bringing a CPU up the CPU is added to the mask
when it reaches the active state, but on teardown the CPU stays in the mask
until it goes offline and invokes sched_cpu_dying().
When SCHED_SOFTIRQ is raised on a !active CPU, there might be a pending
softirq when stopping the tick which triggers a warning in NOHZ code. The
SCHED_SOFTIRQ can also be raised by the scheduler tick which has the same
issue.
Therefore remove the CPU from nohz.idle_cpus_mask when it is marked
inactive and also prevent the scheduler_tick() from raising SCHED_SOFTIRQ
after this point.
