clockevents: Switch into oneshot mode even if broadcast registered late
tick_oneshot_notify() is used to notify a particular CPU to try
to switch into oneshot mode after a oneshot capable tick device
is registered and tick_clock_notify() is used to notify all CPUs
to try to switch into oneshot mode after a high res clocksource
is registered. There is one caveat; if the tick devices suffer
from FEAT_C3_STOP we don't try to switch into oneshot mode unless
we have a oneshot capable broadcast device already registered.
If the broadcast device is registered after the tick devices that
have FEAT_C3_STOP we'll never try to switch into oneshot mode
again, causing us to be stuck in periodic mode forever. Avoid
this scenario by calling tick_clock_notify() after we register
the broadcast device so that we try to switch into oneshot mode
on all CPUs one more time.
