sched/nohz: Remove unnecessarily complex error handling pattern from find_new_ilb()
find_new_ilb() returns nr_cpu_ids on failure - which is the usual cpumask bitops return pattern, but is weird & unnecessary in this context: not only is it a global variable, it it is a +1 out of bounds CPU index and also has different signedness ... Its only user, kick_ilb(), then checks the return against nr_cpu_ids to decide to return. There's no other use. So instead of this, use a standard -1 return on failure to find an idle CPU, as the argument is signed already.
