Cpu which is put into quiescent mode, would remove itself
from kernel's sched_domain, and want others not disturb its
task running. But current scheduler would not checking whether
that cpu is setting in such mode, and still insist the quiescent
cpu to response the nohz load balance.
Fix it by preventing such cpu set nohz.idle_cpus_mask in the
first place.
