Subject: [PATCH v10 04/20] timers: Optimization for timer_base_try_to_set_idle()
Date: Mon, 15 Jan 2024 15:37:27 +0100

When tick is stopped also the timer base is_idle flag is set. When
reentering the timer_base_try_to_set_idle() with the tick stopped, there is
no need to check whether the timer base needs to be set idle again. When a
timer was enqueued in the meantime, this is already handled by the
tick_nohz_next_event() call which was executed before
tick_nohz_stop_tick().
