sched: Fix updating rq->max_idle_balance_cost and rq->next_balance in idle_balance()
The following commit:
e5fc66119ec9 ("sched: Fix race in idle_balance()")
can potentially cause rq->max_idle_balance_cost to not be updated,
even when load_balance(NEWLY_IDLE) is attempted and the per-sd
max cost value is updated.
Preeti noticed a similar issue with updating rq->next_balance.
In this patch, we fix this by making sure we still check/update those values
even if a task gets enqueued while browsing the domains.
