nohz: Fix nohz ratelimit

Browse Source 
Chris Wedgwood reports that 39c0cbe (sched: Rate-limit nohz) causes a
serial console regression, unresponsiveness, and indeed it does. The
reason is that the nohz code is skipped even when the tick was already
stopped before the nohz_ratelimit(cpu) condition changed.

Move the nohz_ratelimit() check to the other conditions which prevent
long idle sleeps.
