[RFC/RFT][PATCH v2 1/6] time: tick-sched: Reorganize idle tick management code

["Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@rjwysocki.net>]

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

Prepare two pieces of code in tick_nohz_idle_enter() for being
called separately from each other.

First, make it possible to call the initial preparatory part of
tick_nohz_idle_enter() without the tick-stopping part following
it and introduce the tick_nohz_idle_prepare() wrapper for that
(that will be used in the next set of changes).

Second, add a new stop_tick argument to __tick_nohz_idle_enter()
tell it whether or not to stop the tick (that is always set for
now) and add a wrapper allowing this function to be called from
the outside of tick-sched.c.

Just the code reorganization and two new wrapper functions, no
intended functional changes.
