might be stupid, a question bothering yicong and me is that why don't we
choose to update_idle_cpumask() while idle task exits and switches to a
normal task?
for example, before tick comes, cpu has exited from idle, but we are only
able to update it in tick. this makes idle_cpus_span inaccurate, thus we
will scan cpu which isn't actually idle in select_idle_sibling.
is it because of the huge update overhead?

Thanks
