sched: Remove load_balance_newidle()

The two functions: load_balance{,_newidle}() are very similar, with the
following differences:

 - rq->lock usage
 - sb->balance_interval updates
 - *balance check

So remove the load_balance_newidle() call with load_balance(.idle =
CPU_NEWLY_IDLE), explicitly unlock the rq->lock before calling (would be
done by double_lock_balance() anyway), and ignore the other differences
for now.
