nohz: Fix another inconsistency between CONFIG_NO_HZ=n and nohz=off
commit 0e576acbc1d9600cf2d9b4a141a2554639959d50 upstream. If CONFIG_NO_HZ=n tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() returns NSEC_PER_SEC/HZ. If CONFIG_NO_HZ=y and the nohz functionality is disabled via the command line option "nohz=off" or not enabled due to missing hardware support, then tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() returns 0. That happens because ts->sleep_length is never set in that case. Set it to NSEC_PER_SEC/HZ when the NOHZ mode is inactive.
