sched: Fix nohz load accounting -- again!

commit c308b56b5398779cd3da0f62ab26b0453494c3d4 upstream.
[ backported to 3.0 by Kerin Millar <kerframil@gmail.com>]

Various people reported nohz load tracking still being wrecked, but Doug
spotted the actual problem. We fold the nohz remainder in too soon,
causing us to loose samples and under-account.

So instead of playing catch-up up-front, always do a single load-fold
with whatever state we encounter and only then fold the nohz remainder
and play catch-up.
