Subject: [PATCH 63/92] sched: Disable energy-unfriendly nohz kicks

With energy-aware scheduling enabled nohz_kick_needed() generates many
nohz idle-balance kicks which lead to nothing when multiple tasks get
packed on a single cpu to save energy. This causes unnecessary wake-ups
and hence wastes energy. Make these conditions depend on !energy_aware()
for now until the energy-aware nohz story gets sorted out.
