this_rq->idle will always be set to idle task. You wanted to check, if
the current task is idle or not, right? Perhaps we can skip that and
just check for nr_running..

comment needs to be fixed and also please mention that in case of SMT nice,
nr_running will determine if the processor is idle or not(rather than
checking for current task is idle)

thanks,
