Reading even more of the code, now I'm totally confused :-)

When tick_setup_sched_timer() is called, if tick_nohz_enabled is set,
then we set tick_nohz_active.

This gets called by hrtimer_switch_to_hres(), and before that is
called, the tick_check_oneshot_changed() will never get to the
tick_nohz_switch_to_nohz() call.

Looks to me, the real answer is to nuke both the if statement *and* the
setting of the tick_nohz_active in that function. Both looks a bit
redundant to me.
