timers: Optimization for timer_base_try_to_set_idle()

When tick is stopped also the timer base is_idle flag is set. When
reentering timer_base_try_to_set_idle() with the tick stopped, there is no
need to check whether the timer base needs to be set idle again. When a
timer was enqueued in the meantime, this is already handled by the
tick_nohz_next_event() call which was executed before
tick_nohz_stop_tick().
