Subjectnohz: Update tick instead of restarting tick in tick_nohz_idle_exit()
Date
In realtime scenarios, the "nohz_full" parameter is configured. Tick
interference is not expected when there is only one realtime thread.
But when the idle thread is switched to the realtime thread, the tick
timer is restarted always.

So on the nohz full mode, it is unnecessary to restart the tick timer
when there is only one realtime thread. Adding can_stop_full_tick()
before restarting the tick, if it return true, keep tick stopped.
