NOHZ: fix thinko in the timer restart code path

commit fb02fbc1 (NOHZ: restart tick
device from irq_enter())

solves the problem of stale jiffies when long running softirqs happen
in a long idle sleep period, but it has a major thinko in it:

When the interrupt which came in _is_ the timer interrupt which should
expire ts->sched_timer then we cancel and rearm the timer _before_ it
gets expired in hrtimer_interrupt() to the next period. That means the
call back function is not called. This game can go on for ever :(

Prevent this by making sure to only rearm the timer when the expiry
time is more than one tick_period away. Otherwise keep it running as
it is either already expired or will expiry at the right point to
update jiffies.
