Subject[PATCH] sched: idle: move need_resched check after function rcu_idle_enter
The rcu_idle_endter may call wakeup_softirqd to set the need resched
flag on idle process. But if we don't check it after that, then the
cpu will enter idle state with RESCHED flag set and can not be woken
up by wakeup/resched call anymore.

Check need_resched after rcu_idle_enter to make sure the cpu is able
to be out of idle immediatley to run other tasks.
