      NOHZ: update idle state also when NOHZ is inactive · fdc6f192
      Eero Nurkkala authored
      Commit f2e21c96 had unfortunate side
      effects with cpufreq governors on some systems.
      
      If the system did not switch into NOHZ mode ts->inidle is not set when
      tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() is called from the idle routine. Therefor
      all subsequent calls from irq_exit() to tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick()
      fail to call tick_nohz_start_idle(). This results in bogus idle
      accounting information which is passed to cpufreq governors.
      
      Set the inidle flag unconditionally of the NOHZ active state to keep
      the idle time accounting correct in any case.
      
      [ tglx: Added comment and tweaked the changelog ]
