Ionut Nechita (Sunlight Linux) 56534673ce tick/nohz: Optimize check_tick_dependency() with early return ...

There is no point in iterating through individual tick dependency bits when
the tick_stop tracepoint is disabled, which is the common case.

When the trace point is disabled, return immediately based on the atomic
value being zero or non-zero, skipping the per-bit evaluation.

This optimization improves the hot path performance of tick dependency
checks across all contexts (idle and non-idle), not just nohz_full CPUs.
