The network delay was always big on arm server tested by qperf,
the reason was that the cpu entered deep power down idle state(like intel
C6) and can't goto a shallow one.

The intervals in @get_typical_interval() was much smaller than predicted_ns
in @menu_select(), so the predict state is always deepest and cause long
time network delay.

Every time when the cpu got an interrupt from the network, the cpu was
waken up and did the IRQ, after that the cpu enter @menu_select()
but the @tick_nohz_tick_stopped() was true and get a big data->next_timer_ns,
the cpu can never goto a shallow state util the data->next_timer_ns timeout.
Below was the print when the issue occurrence.

Add idle tick wakeup judge before change predicted_ns.
