tick: Dynamically set broadcast irq affinity
When a cpu goes to a deep idle state where its local timer is shutdown, it notifies the time frame work to use the broadcast timer instead. Unfortunately, the broadcast device could wake up any CPU, including an idle one which is not concerned by the wake up at all. So in the worst case an idle CPU will wake up to send an IPI to the CPU whose timer expired. Provide an opt-in feature CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_DYNIRQ which tells the core that is should set the interrupt affinity of the broadcast interrupt to the cpu which has the earliest expiry time. This avoids unnecessary spurious wakeups and IPIs.
