In reality when make the decision, though the tick period is fixed to TICK_USEC, but the CPU is randomly entering/exiting idle states so the next tick delta is float and should be in the range [0, TICK_USEC]. This can result in wrong decision for stopping tick, e.g. if the prediction is 3ms idle duration and we compare with TICK_USEC=4000 (HZ=250), this can lead to a wrong conclusion is the tick event will be later than the prediction duration so the governor doesn't stop the tick; but in fact the tick is expired for 1ms, so the tick wakes up the CPU ahead and the CPU cannot stay in idle for 3ms as expected. Alternatively, 'data->tick_delta_us' is for the tick delta value and it's a accurate estimation for tick event coming. This patch changes to compare prediction with tick delta rather than comparing with the static tick interval.
