Subject: [PATCH 09/15] tick: Move broadcast cancellation up to CPUHP_AP_TICK_DYING

The broadcast shutdown code is executed through a random explicit call
within stop machine from the outgoing CPU.

However The tick broadcast is a midware between the tick callback and
the clocksource, therefore it makes more sense to shut it down after the
tick callback and before the clocksource drivers.

Move it instead to the common tick shutdown CPU hotplug state where
related operations can be ordered from highest to lowest level.
