sched/core: Introduce SM_IDLE and an idle re-entry fast-path in __schedule()

Browse source 
Since commit b2a02fc43a ("smp: Optimize
send_call_function_single_ipi()") an idle CPU in TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG mode
can be pulled out of idle by setting TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag to service an
IPI without actually sending an interrupt. Even in cases where the IPI
handler does not queue a task on the idle CPU, do_idle() will call
__schedule() since need_resched() returns true in these cases.

Introduce and use SM_IDLE to identify call to __schedule() from
schedule_idle() and shorten the idle re-entry time by skipping
pick_next_task() when nr_running is 0 and the previous task is the idle
task.

With the SM_IDLE fast-path, the time taken to complete a fixed set of
IPIs using ipistorm improves noticeably. Following are the numbers
from a dual socket Intel Ice Lake Xeon server (2 x 32C/64T) and
3rd Generation AMD EPYC system (2 x 64C/128T) (boost on, C2 disabled)
running ipistorm between CPU8 and CPU16:

cmdline: insmod ipistorm.ko numipi=100000 single=1 offset=8 cpulist=8 wait=1
