Next commit would update clockevents core to switch clockevent devices to
ONESHOT_STOPPED state to avoid getting spurious interrupts on a tickless CPU.
Before programming the clockevent device for next event, we must switch its
state to ONESHOT.
Switch state back to ONESHOT from ONESHOT_STOPPED at following places:
1.) NOHZ_MODE_LOWRES Mode
Timers & hrtimers are dependent on tick for their working in this mode and the
only place from where clockevent device is programmed is the tick-code.
Two routines can restart ticks in LOWRES mode: tick_nohz_restart() and
tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick().
2.) NOHZ_MODE_HIGHRES Mode
Tick & timers are dependent on hrtimers for their working in this mode and the
only place from where clockevent device is programmed is the hrtimer-code.
Only hrtimer_reprogram() is responsible for programming the clockevent device
for next event, if the clockevent device is stopped earlier. And updating that
alone is sufficient here.
To make sure we haven't missed any corner case, add a WARN() for the case where
we try to reprogram clockevent device while we aren't configured in
ONESHOT_STOPPED state.
