timers: Introduce function to check timer base is_idle flag

To prepare for the conversion of the NOHZ timer placement to a pull at
expiry time model it's required to have a function that returns the value
of the is_idle flag of the timer base to keep the hierarchy states during
online in sync with timer base state.

No functional change.
