If there is a need to kick the idle load balancer, an ILB will be selected 
to perform nohz idle load balance, however, if the selected ILB is in the 
process of offline, smp_sched_reschedule() which generates a sched IPI will 
splat as above.

           CPU0                      CPU1

    set_rq_offline() 
                                 smp_sched_reschedule()  Oops
    nohz_balance_exit_idle() 

This patch fix it by exiting nohz idle balance before set cpu offline.
