clockevents: check broadcast tick device not the clock events device
Impact: jiffies increment too fast. Hugh Dickins noted that with NOHZ=n and HIGHRES=n jiffies get incremented too fast. The reason is a wrong check in the broadcast enter/exit code, which keeps the local apic timer in periodic mode when the switch happens. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
