Subject: [PATCH] nohz: fix wrong event handler after online an offlined cpu

On the tickless system(CONFIG_NO_HZ=y and CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=n), after I
made an offlined cpu online, I found this cpu's event handler was
tick_handle_periodic, not tick_nohz_handler.

After debuging, I found this bug was caused by the wrong tick mode.
the tick mode is not changed to NOHZ_MODE_INACTIVE when the cpu is offline.

This patch fixes this bug.
