I don't think it is valid to evaluate tick_nohz_get_next_wakeup() for it then to update domain_wakeup. We really should just avoid the domain power off in that case at all IMO. Sure enough, if the domain power off is already started and one of the CPUs in the domain is woken up then, too bad, it will suffer the latency (but in that case the hardware should be able to help somewhat), but otherwise CPU wakeup should prevent domain power off from being carried out.
