sched: Fix updating rq->max_idle_balance_cost and rq->next_balance in idle_balance()

The following commit:

  e5fc66119ec9 ("sched: Fix race in idle_balance()")

can potentially cause rq->max_idle_balance_cost to not be updated,
even when load_balance(NEWLY_IDLE) is attempted and the per-sd
max cost value is updated.

Preeti noticed a similar issue with updating rq->next_balance.

In this patch, we fix this by making sure we still check/update those values
even if a task gets enqueued while browsing the domains.
