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.
