Subject: [PATCH] clockevent: don't remove broadcast device when cpu is dead

Marc reported BUG during shutdown, after debugging, kernel is trying
to remove a broadcast device which mode is CLOCK_EVT_MODE_ONESHOT.

The root cause for this bug is that in clockevents_notify,
"cpumask_weight(dev->cpumask) == 1" is always true even if dev is a
broadcast device. We need to use tick_is_broadcast_device to check
if it is a broadcast device.
