clockevents: do not shutdown the oneshot broadcast device
When a cpu goes offline it is removed from the broadcast masks. If the mask becomes empty the code shuts down the broadcast device. This is wrong, because the broadcast device needs to be ready for the online cpu going idle (into a c-state, which stops the local apic timer). Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
