timers: Fix get_next_timer_interrupt() computation

The tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() routine is not properly
canceling the sched timer when nothing is pending, because
get_next_timer_interrupt() is no longer returning KTIME_MAX in
that case.  This causes periodic interrupts when none are needed.

When determining the next interrupt time, we first use
__next_timer_interrupt() to get the first expiring timer in the
timer wheel.  If no timer is found, we return the base clock value
plus NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA to indicate there is no timer in the
timer wheel.

Back in get_next_timer_interrupt(), we set the "expires" value
by converting the timer wheel expiry (in ticks) to a nsec value.
But we don't want to do this if the timer wheel expiry value
indicates no timer; we want to return KTIME_MAX.

Prior to commit 500462a9 ("timers: Switch to a non-cascading
wheel") we checked base->active_timers to see if any timers
were active, and if not, we didn't touch the expiry value and so
properly returned KTIME_MAX.  Now we don't have active_timers.

To fix this, we now just check the timer wheel expiry value to
see if it is "now + NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA", and if it is, we don't
try to compute a new value based on it, but instead simply let the
KTIME_MAX value in expires remain.
