Check for current cpu's idleness is already done in implementation of sched_select_cpu() which is called by get_nohz_timer_target(). So, no need to call idle_cpu() twice, once from sched_select_cpu() and once from timer and hrtimer before calling get_nohz_timer_target(). This patch removes calls to idle_cpu() from timer and hrtimer.
