    clockevents: check broadcast device not tick device · 30274569

    Impact: Possible hang on CPU online observed on AMD C1E machines.
    
    The broadcast setup code looks at the mode of the tick device to
    determine whether it needs to be shut down or setup. This is wrong
    when the broadcast mode is set to one shot already. This can happen
    when a CPU is brought online as it goes through the periodic setup
    first.
    
    The problem went unnoticed as sane systems do not call into that code
    before the switch to one shot for the clock event device happens.
    The AMD C1E idle routine switches over immediately and thereby shuts
    down the just setup device before the first interrupt happens.
