CPUidle governors use the sleep time of the CPU to determine the idle
state of the CPU. However, to determine a common sleep time between CPUs
that enter idle at different times, the tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() API
is not very helpful.

Add API to read the next event for the CPU. The value can be evaluated
at any time to determine the remaining sleep time of the CPU.
