sched: Stop the sched timer when possible to save the power in tickless mode 

Remove KEEP_ALIVE_HACK to avoid waking up the device periodly.
The workaround it's added by:
    commit 6546fa39c7

    Tickless Stuff:  Back out the risky timer operations when the ready-to-run
    list is modified. That is unsafe.  An ugly workaround is just to keep an
    interval timer going all of the time with a minimum duration equal to the
    timeslice interval.
But look like it doesn't needed anymore.

/* In the original design, it was planned that nxsched_reassess_timer() be
* called whenever there was a change at the head of the ready-to-run
* list. That call was intended to establish a new time-slice or to
* stop an old time-slice timer. However, it turns out that that
* solution is too fragile: The system is too vulnerable at the time
* that the ready-to-run list is modified in order to muck with timers.
*
* The kludge/work-around is simple to keep the timer running all of the
* time with an interval of no more than the timeslice interval. If we
* do this, then there is really no need to do anything when on context
* switches.
