[patch 1/7] tick/broadcast: Serialize access to tick_next_period

[Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>]

tick_broadcast_setup_oneshot() accesses tick_next_period twice without any
serialization. This is wrong in two aspects:

  - Reading it twice might make the broadcast data inconsistent if the
    variable is updated concurrently.

  - On 32bit systems the access might see an partial update

Protect it with jiffies_lock. That's safe as none of the callchains leading
up to this function can create a lock ordering violation:

timer interrupt
  run_local_timers()
    hrtimer_run_queues()
      hrtimer_switch_to_hres()
        tick_init_highres()
	  tick_switch_to_oneshot()
	    tick_broadcast_switch_to_oneshot()
or
     tick_check_oneshot_change()
       tick_nohz_switch_to_nohz()
         tick_switch_to_oneshot()
           tick_broadcast_switch_to_oneshot()
