tick: hrtimer-broadcast: Prevent endless restarting when broadcast device is unused
The hrtimer callback in the hrtimer's tick broadcast code sometimes incorrectly ends up scheduling events at the current tick causing the kernel to hang servicing the same hrtimer forever. This typically happens when a device is swapped out by tick_install_broadcast_device(), which replaces the event handler with clock_events_handle_noop() and sets the device mode to CLOCK_EVT_MODE_UNUSED. If the timer is scheduled when this happens, the next_event field will not be updated and the hrtimer ends up being restarted at the current tick. To prevent this from happening, only try to restart the hrtimer if the broadcast clock event device is in one of the active modes and try to cancel the timer when entering the CLOCK_EVT_MODE_UNUSED mode.
