Thomas Gleixner 5e41d0d60a clockevents: prevent stale tick update on offline cpu
Taking a cpu offline removes the cpu from the online mask before the
CPU_DEAD notification is done. The clock events layer does the cleanup
of the dead CPU from the CPU_DEAD notifier chain. tick_do_timer_cpu is
used to avoid xtime lock contention by assigning the task of jiffies
xtime updates to one CPU. If a CPU is taken offline, then this
assignment becomes stale. This went unnoticed because most of the time
the offline CPU went dead before the online CPU reached __cpu_die(),
where the CPU_DEAD state is checked. In the case that the offline CPU did
not reach the DEAD state before we reach __cpu_die(), the code in there
goes to sleep for 100ms. Due to the stale time update assignment, the
system is stuck forever.

Take the assignment away when a cpu is not longer in the cpu_online_mask.
We do this in the last call to tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() when the offline
CPU is on the way to the final play_dead() idle entry.
