nohz: Fix another inconsistency between CONFIG_NO_HZ=n and nohz=off

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.
