sched/core: Fix forceidle balancing

Steve reported that ChromeOS encounters the forceidle balancer being
ran from rt_mutex_setprio()'s balance_callback() invocation and
explodes.

Now, the forceidle balancer gets queued every time the idle task gets
selected, set_next_task(), which is strictly too often.
rt_mutex_setprio() also uses set_next_task() in the 'change' pattern:

	queued = task_on_rq_queued(p); /* p->on_rq == TASK_ON_RQ_QUEUED */
	running = task_current(rq, p); /* rq->curr == p */

	if (queued)
		dequeue_task(...);
	if (running)
		put_prev_task(...);

	/* change task properties */

	if (queued)
		enqueue_task(...);
	if (running)
		set_next_task(...);

However, rt_mutex_setprio() will explicitly not run this pattern on
the idle task (since priority boosting the idle task is quite insane).
Most other 'change' pattern users are pidhash based and would also not
apply to idle.

Also, the change pattern doesn't contain a __balance_callback()
invocation and hence we could have an out-of-band balance-callback,
which *should* trigger the WARN in rq_pin_lock() (which guards against
this exact anti-pattern).

So while none of that explains how this happens, it does indicate that
having it in set_next_task() might not be the most robust option.

Instead, explicitly queue the forceidle balancer from pick_next_task()
when it does indeed result in forceidle selection. Having it here,
ensures it can only be triggered under the __schedule() rq->lock
instance, and hence must be ran from that context.

This also happens to clean up the code a little, so win-win.
