tevt->global is set to KTIME_MAX anyway. So the whole tevt information is
also no longer required in tick_nohz_next_event(). I need to rework the
patch where this was introduced. Then the forward_and_idle_timer_bases()
could still simply return the next timer and then there is no longer a
point against using your idea with naming of the functions.
