tick/broadcast: Prevent hrtimer recursion
The hrtimer based broadcast vehicle can cause a hrtimer recursion which went unnoticed until we changed the hrtimer expiry code to keep track of the currently running timer. local_timer_interrupt() local_handler() hrtimer_interrupt() expire_hrtimers() broadcast_hrtimer() send_ipis() local_handler() hrtimer_interrupt() .... Solution is simple: Prevent the local handler call from the broadcast code when the broadcast 'device' is hrtimer based.
