Well, given that tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() is just the above in
this case, wouldn't it be simpler to return ktime_add(ktime_get(),
TICK_NSEC) from here?

I would avoid breaking the line, honestly.

If you really really want to avoid going above the 80 chars line
length limit, why don't you do

struct clock_event_device *dev;

dev = per_cpu(tick_cpu_device.evtdev, cpu);
