[PATCH] tick: add check for the existence of broadcast clock event device

[Feng Tang]

Some platform may have no broadcast clock event device, as it use always-on
external timers for per-cpu timer and has no extra one for broadcast device.
This check will secure the access to bc device when system get some boradcast
on/off and enter/exit message
