time: tick-sched: Split tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick()
In order to address the issue with short idle duration predictions by the idle governor after the scheduler tick has been stopped, split tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() into two separate routines, one computing the time to the next timer event and the other simply stopping the tick when the time to the next timer event is known. Prepare these two routines to be called separately, as one of them will be called by the idle governor in the cpuidle_select() code path after subsequent changes. Update the former callers of tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() to use the new routines, tick_nohz_next_event() and tick_nohz_stop_tick(), instead of it and move the updates of the sleep_length field in struct tick_sched into __tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() as it doesn't need to be updated anywhere else. There should be no intentional visible changes in functionality resulting from this change. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
