nohz: Re-evaluate the tick from the scheduler IPI
The scheduler IPI is used by the scheduler to kick
full dynticks CPUs asynchronously when more than one
task are running or when a new timer list timer is
enqueued. This way the destination CPU can decide
to restart the tick to handle this new situation.
Now let's call that kick in the scheduler IPI.
(Reusing the scheduler IPI rather than implementing
a new IPI was suggested by Peter Zijlstra a while ago)
