These days most of the system have multi cores. The likelyhood of
at least one or more CPUs in nohz (idle state) is higher.
So move likely to unlikely.

Allow stats balancing to complete when there are no nr_cpus as the check
happens later. Current code might race and may not set
nohz.has_blocked = 0 even when nohz.nr_cpus == 0
