timers: Cache __next_timer_interrupt result
Each time a cpu goes to sleep on a NOHZ=y system the timer
wheel is searched for the next timer interrupt. It can take
quite a few cycles to find the next pending timer.
This patch adds a field to tvec_base that caches the result of
__next_timer_interrupt.
The hit ratio is around 80% on my thinkpad under normal use, on
a server I've seen hit ratios from 5% to 95% dependent on the
workload.
