[PATCH V2 18/19] tick-sched: invert parameter of tick_check_oneshot_change()

[Viresh Kumar]

There is only one caller of tick_check_oneshot_change(), i.e.
hrtimer_run_pending(). hrtimer_run_pending() calls this routine after doing a
logical NOT (!) of its parameter and then tick_check_oneshot_change() also uses
its parameter after doing logical NOT (!) of it.

It would be more efficient and readable if we can just invert the meaning of
this parameter. It is called hres_enabled instead of allow_nohz now.
