credit2: during scheduling, update the idle mask before using it

Load balancing, when happening, at the end of a "scheduler epoch", can
trigger vcpu migration, which in its turn may call runq_tickle(). If the
cpu where this happens was idle, but we're now going to schedule a vcpu
on it, let's update the runq's idle cpus mask accordingly _before_ doing
load balancing.

Not doing that, in fact, may cause runq_tickle() to think that the cpu
is still idle, and tickle it to go pick up a vcpu from the runqueue,
which might be wrong/unideal.
