[PATCH 3/3] powerpc/time: improve decrementer clockevent processing

[Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com>]

The stop/shutdown op should not use decrementer_set_next_event because
that sets decrementers_next_tb to now + decrementer_max, which means a
decrementer interrupt that occurs after that time will call the
clockevent event handler unexpectedly. Set next_tb to ~0 here to prevent
any clock event call. Init all clockevents to stopped.

Then the decrementer clockevent device always has event_handler set and
applicable because we know the clock event device was not stopped. So
make this call unconditional to show that it is always called. next_tb
need not be set to ~0 before the event handler is called because it will
stop the clockevent device if there is no other timer.

Finally, the timer broadcast interrupt should not modify next_tb because
it is not involved with the local decrementer clockevent on this CPU.

This doesn't fix a known bug, just tidies the code.
