    tick/broadcast: Prevent hrtimer recursion · 8eb23126
    Thomas Gleixner authored
    The hrtimer based broadcast vehicle can cause a hrtimer recursion
    which went unnoticed until we changed the hrtimer expiry code to keep
    track of the currently running timer.
    
    local_timer_interrupt()
      local_handler()
        hrtimer_interrupt()
          expire_hrtimers()
            broadcast_hrtimer()
    	  send_ipis()
    	  local_handler()
    	    hrtimer_interrupt()
    	     ....
    
    Solution is simple: Prevent the local handler call from the broadcast
    code when the broadcast 'device' is hrtimer based.
