  Fix the long term ULE load balancer so that it actually works.  The
  initial call to sched_balance() during startup is meant to initialize
  balance_ticks, but does not actually do that since smp_started is
  still zero at that time.  Since balance_ticks does not get set,
  there are no further calls to sched_balance().  Fix this by setting
  balance_ticks in sched_initticks() since we know the value of
  balance_interval at that time, and eliminate the useless startup
  call to sched_balance().  We don't need to randomize the intial
  value of balance_ticks.
  
  Since there is now only one call to sched_balance(), we can hoist
  the tests at the top of this function out to the caller and avoid
  the overhead of the function call when running a SMP kernel on UP
  hardware.
