timers: Fix nextevt calculation when no timers are pending
When no timer is queued into an empty timer base, the next_expiry will not
be updated. It was originally calculated as
base->clk + NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA
When the timer base stays empty long enough (> NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA), the
next_expiry value of the empty base suggests that there is a timer pending
soon. This might be more a kind of a theoretical problem, but the fix
doesn't hurt.
Use only base->next_expiry value as nextevt when timers are
pending. Otherwise nextevt will be jiffies + NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA. As all
information is in place, update base->next_expiry value of the empty timer
base as well.
