Subject: [PATCH] tick/broadcast: Do not set oneshot_mask except was_periodic was true

If a broadcast timer is registered after the system switched to oneshot
mode, a hang_task err could occur like that:

INFO: task kworker/u15:0:7 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
      Tainted: G            E     5.15.41-android13-8-00002-xxx #1

When the new broadcast timer was registered after the system switched
to oneshot mode, the broadcast timer was not used as periodic. If the
oneshot mask was set incorrectly, all cores which did not enter cpu_idle
state can't enter cpu_idle normally, causing the hrtimer mechanism to
break.

This patch fixes the issue by moving the update action about oneshot
mask to a more strict conditions. The tick_broadcast_setup_oneshot would
be called in two typical condition, and they all will work.

1. tick_handle_periodic -> tick_broadcast_setup_oneshot

The origin broadcast was periodic, so it can set the oneshot_mask bits
for those waiting for periodic broadcast and program the broadcast timer
to fire.

2. tick_install_broadcast_device -> tick_broadcast_setup_oneshot

The origin broadcast was oneshot, so the cores which enter the cpu_idle
already used the oneshot_mask bits. It is unnecessary to update the
oneshot_mask.

Fixes: 9c336c9935cf ("tick/broadcast: Allow late registered device to enter oneshot mode")
