tick/broadcast: Prevent deadlock on tick_broadcast_lock



tick_broadcast_lock is taken from interrupt context, but the following call
chain takes the lock without disabling interrupts:

[   12.703736]  _raw_spin_lock+0x3b/0x50
[   12.703738]  tick_broadcast_control+0x5a/0x1a0
[   12.703742]  intel_idle_cpu_online+0x22/0x100
[   12.703744]  cpuhp_invoke_callback+0x245/0x9d0
[   12.703752]  cpuhp_thread_fun+0x52/0x110
[   12.703754]  smpboot_thread_fn+0x276/0x320

So the following deadlock can happen:

   lock(tick_broadcast_lock);
   <Interrupt>
      lock(tick_broadcast_lock);

intel_idle_cpu_online() is the only place which violates the calling
convention of tick_broadcast_control(). This was caused by the removal of
the smp function call in course of the cpu hotplug rework.

Instead of slapping local_irq_disable/enable() at the call site, we can
relax the calling convention and handle it in the core code, which makes
the whole machinery more robust.
