sched,fair: Skip newidle_balance if a wakeup is pending

The try_to_wake_up function has an optimization where it can queue
a task for wakeup on its previous CPU, if the task is still in the
middle of going to sleep inside schedule().

Once schedule() re-enables IRQs, the task will be woken up with an
IPI, and placed back on the runqueue.

If we have such a wakeup pending, there is no need to search other
CPUs for runnable tasks. Just skip (or bail out early from) newidle
balancing, and run the just woken up task.

For a memcache like workload test, this reduces total CPU use by
about 2%, proportionally split between user and system time,
and p99 and p95 application response time by 10% on average.
The schedstats run_delay number shows a similar improvement.
