tick: broadcast: Check broadcast mode on CPU hotplug

On ARM systems the dummy clockevent is registered with the cpu
hotplug notifier chain before any other per-cpu clockevent. This
has the side-effect of causing the dummy clockevent to be
registered first in every hotplug sequence. Because the dummy is
first, we'll try to turn the broadcast source on but the code in
tick_device_uses_broadcast() assumes the broadcast source is in
periodic mode and calls tick_broadcast_start_periodic()
unconditionally.

On boot this isn't a problem because we typically haven't
switched into oneshot mode yet (if at all). During hotplug, if
the broadcast source isn't in periodic mode we'll replace the
broadcast oneshot handler with the broadcast periodic handler and
start emulating oneshot mode when we shouldn't. Due to the way
the broadcast oneshot handler programs the next_event it's
possible for it to contain KTIME_MAX and cause us to hang the
system when the periodic handler tries to program the next tick.
Fix this by using the appropriate function to start the broadcast
source.
