Commit 5d1638acb9f6 ('tick: Introduce hrtimer based broadcast') added a
hrtimer based broadcast mode for those platforms in which local timers stop
when CPUs enter deep idle states. The commit expected the platforms to
register for this mode explicitly when they lacked a better external device
to wake up CPUs in deep idle. Given that more platforms are beginning to use
this mode, we can avoid the call to set it up on every platform that requires
it, by registering for the hrtimer based broadcast mode in the core code if
no better broadcast device is available.This commit also helps detect cases where the platform fails to register for a broadcast device but invokes the help of one when entering deep idle states. Currently we do not handle this situation at all and call the broadcast clock device without checking for its existence. This patch will handle such buggy cases properly.
