Subject: [PATCH v9 02/32] tick/sched: Cleanup confusing variables

tick_nohz_stop_tick() contains the expires (u64 variable) and tick
(ktime_t) variable. In the beginning the value of expires is written to
tick. Afterwards none of the variables is changed. They are only used for
checks.

Drop the not required variable tick and use always expires instead.
