Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 06/11] timers: keep sleep length updated as needed

From: Aubrey Li <aubrey.li@...ux.intel.com>

sleep length indicates how long we'll be idle. Currently, it's updated
only when tick nohz enters. These patch series make a new requirement
with tick, so we should keep sleep length updated as needed
