sched: idle_balance() does not call load_balance_newidle()

Impact: fix SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLEand broaden its use

load_balance_newidle() does not get called if SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE is
set at higher level domain (3-CPU) and not in low level domain (2-MC).

pulled_task is initialised to -1 and checked for non-zero which is
always true if the lowest level sched_domain does not have
SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE flag set.
