To improve readability of the code, split base->idle calculation and expires calculation into separate parts. While at it, update the comment about timer base idle marking. Thereby the following subtle change happens if the next event is just one jiffy ahead and the tick was already stopped: Originally base->is_idle remains true in this situation. Now base->is_idle turns to false. This may spare an IPI if a timer is enqueued remotely to an idle CPU that is going to tick on the next jiffy.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
