tick/broadcast: Make idle check independent from mode and config

Currently the broadcast busy check, which prevents the idle code from
going into deep idle, works only in one shot mode.

If NOHZ and HIGHRES are off (config or command line) there is no
sanity check at all, so under certain conditions cpus are allowed to
go into deep idle, where the local timer stops, and are not woken up
again because there is no broadcast timer installed or a hrtimer based
broadcast device is not evaluated.

Move tick_broadcast_oneshot_control() into the common code and provide
proper subfunctions for the various config combinations.

The common check in tick_broadcast_oneshot_control() is for the C3STOP
misfeature flag of the local clock event device. If its not set, idle
can proceed. If set, further checks are necessary.

Provide checks for the trivial cases:

 - If broadcast is disabled in the config, then return busy

 - If oneshot mode (NOHZ/HIGHES) is disabled in the config, return
   busy if the broadcast device is hrtimer based.

 - If oneshot mode is enabled in the config call the original
   tick_broadcast_oneshot_control() function. That function needs
   extra checks which will be implemented in seperate patches.
