clockevents: Fix cpu_down() race for hrtimer based broadcasting 

It was found when doing a hotplug stress test on POWER, that the
machine either hit softlockups or rcu_sched stall warnings.  The
issue was traced to commit:

  7cba160ad7 ("powernv/cpuidle: Redesign idle states management")

which exposed the cpu_down() race with hrtimer based broadcast mode:

  5d1638acb9 ("tick: Introduce hrtimer based broadcast")

The race is the following:

Assume CPU1 is the CPU which holds the hrtimer broadcasting duty
before it is taken down.

	CPU0					CPU1

	cpu_down()				take_cpu_down()
						disable_interrupts()

	cpu_die()

	while (CPU1 != CPU_DEAD) {
		msleep(100);
		switch_to_idle();
		stop_cpu_timer();
		schedule_broadcast();
	}

	tick_cleanup_cpu_dead()
		take_over_broadcast()

So after CPU1 disabled interrupts it cannot handle the broadcast
hrtimer anymore, so CPU0 will be stuck forever.

Fix this by explicitly taking over broadcast duty before cpu_die().

This is a temporary workaround. What we really want is a callback
in the clockevent device which allows us to do that from the dying
CPU by pushing the hrtimer onto a different cpu. That might involve
an IPI and is definitely more complex than this immediate fix.
