NOHZ: Properly feed cpufreq ondemand governor

Browse Source 
A call from irq_exit() may occasionally pause the timing
info for cpufreq ondemand governor. This results in the
cpufreq ondemand governor to fail to calculate the 
system load properly. Thus, relocate the checks for this
particular case to keep the governor always functional.
