Subject: [PATCH 36/38] tick-broadcast: get rid of extra comparison in tick_do_broadcast_on_off()

We are doing an extra comparison in tick_do_broadcast_on_off():

               if (*reason == CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_FORCE)
                       tick_broadcast_force = 1;

Whereas it can be handled easily in the switch block only.

It doesn't look like there is any strict ordering of instructions required here
and so move setting 'tick_broadcast_force' at the beginning.
