Vincent noted that blocked load updates can have non-negligible overhead, which should be avoided if the intent is to only update nohz.next_balance. Add a new NOHZ balance kick flag, NOHZ_NEXT_KICK. Gate NOHZ blocked load update by the presence of NOHZ_STATS_KICK - currently all NOHZ balance kicks will have the NOHZ_STATS_KICK flag set, so no change in behaviour is expected.
