Subject: [PATCH] acpi: fix for lapic_timer_propagate_broadcast()

I got following warning on ia64 box:
  In function 'acpi_processor_power_verify':
  642: warning: passing argument 2 of 'smp_call_function_single' from
  incompatible pointer type

This smp_call_function_single() was introduced by a commit
f833bab87fca5c3ce13778421b1365845843b976:

The problem is that the lapic_timer_propagate_broadcast() has 2 versions:
One is real code that modified in the above commit, and the other is NOP
code that used when !ARCH_APICTIMER_STOPS_ON_C3:

  static void lapic_timer_propagate_broadcast(struct acpi_processor *pr) { }

So I got warning because of !ARCH_APICTIMER_STOPS_ON_C3.

We really want to do nothing here on !ARCH_APICTIMER_STOPS_ON_C3, so
modify lapic_timer_propagate_broadcast() of real version to use
smp_call_function_single() in it.
