[PATCH v2] tick: shift tick_nohz_switch_to_nohz() from tick_check_oneshot_change() to hrtimer_run_queues()

[Oleg Nesterov]

hrtimer_run_queues() calls tick_check_oneshot_change() to check if we
can switch to highres or nohz mode, but the current code looks very
confusing to me. In the highres=n or CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=n cases
tick_check_oneshot_change() itself calls tick_nohz_switch_to_nohz()
and returns zero; that is why it needs the "allow_nohz" argument,
which imo also adds confusion.

This patch turns tick_check_oneshot_change() into a "pure" function
without arguments. hrtimer_run_queues() calls hrtimer_switch_to_hres()
or tick_nohz_switch_to_nohz() depending on hrtimer_is_hres_enabled().
