Subject: [PATCH v8 10/25] timers: Move marking timer bases idle into tick_nohz_stop_tick()
The timer base is marked idle when get_next_timer_interrupt() is
executed. But the decision whether the tick will be stopped and whether the
system is able to go idle is done later. When the timer bases is marked
idle and a new first timer is enqueued remote an IPI is raised. Even if it
is not required because the tick is not stopped and the timer base is
evaluated again at the next tick.
To prevent this, the timer base is marked idle in tick_nohz_stop_tick() and
get_next_timer_interrupt() is streamlined by only looking for the next
timer interrupt. All other work is postponed to timer_set_idle() which is
called by tick_nohz_stop_tick().
While at it a whitespace damage is fixed as well.
