[PATCH 4/5] Create rebalance_domains from rebalance_tick

[Christoph Lameter]

Create rebalance_domains() from rebalance_tick().

Essentially rebalance_domains = rebalance_tick. However, we
do the idle calculation on our own. This removes some processing
from scheduler_tick into rebalance_domains().

While we are at it: Take the opportunity to avoid taking
the request queue lock in wake_priority_sleeper if
there are no running processes.
