[PATCH 2/2] nohz: Avoid tick's double reprogramming in highres mode

From: Viresh Kumar In highres mode, the tick reschedules itself unconditionally to the next jiffies. However while this clock reprogramming is relevant when the tick is in periodic mode, it's not that interesting when we run in dynticks mode because irq exit is likely going to overwrite the next
