cpuidle: menu: Refine idle state selection for running tick
If the tick isn't stopped, the target residency of the state selected by the menu governor may be greater than the actual time to the next tick and that means lost energy. To avoid that, make tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() return the current time to the next event (before stopping the tick) in addition to the estimated one via an extra pointer argument and make menu_select() use that value to refine the state selection when necessary.
