tick: Get rid of tick_period
stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.180 commit 107ea1f63b266afcf50b7a9496d04797d149c0cf category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I8DDFN Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=107ea1f63b266afcf50b7a9496d04797d149c0cf -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit b9965449 ] The variable tick_period is initialized to NSEC_PER_TICK / HZ during boot and never updated again. If NSEC_PER_TICK is not an integer multiple of HZ this computation is less accurate than TICK_NSEC which has proper rounding in place. Aside of the inaccuracy there is no reason for having this variable at all. It's just a pointless indirection and all usage sites can just use the TICK_NSEC constant.
