clockevents: introduce force broadcast notifier



The 64bit SMP bootup is slightly different to the 32bit one. It enables
the boot CPU local APIC timer before all CPUs are brought up. Some AMD C1E
systems have the C1E feature flag only set in the secondary CPU. Due to
the early enable of the boot CPU local APIC timer the APIC timer is
registered as a fully functional device. When we detect the wreckage during
the bringup of the secondary CPU, we need to force the boot CPU into
broadcast mode. 

Add a new notifier reason and implement the force broadcast in the clock
events layer.
