tick: Cure broadcast false positive pending bit warning

commit 26517f3e (tick: Avoid programming the local cpu timer if
broadcast pending) added a warning if the cpu enters broadcast mode
again while the pending bit is still set. Meelis reported that the
warning triggers. There are two corner cases which have been not
considered:

1) cpuidle calls clockevents_notify(CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_ENTER)
   twice. That can result in the following scenario

   CPU0                    CPU1
                           cpuidle_idle_call()
                             clockevents_notify(CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_ENTER)
                               set cpu in tick_broadcast_oneshot_mask

   broadcast interrupt
     event expired for cpu1
     set pending bit

                             acpi_idle_enter_simple()
                               clockevents_notify(CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_ENTER)
                                 WARN_ON(pending bit)

  Move the WARN_ON into the section where we enter broadcast mode so
  it wont provide false positives on the second call.

2) safe_halt() enables interrupts, so a broadcast interrupt can be
   delivered befor the broadcast mode is disabled. That sets the
   pending bit for the CPU which receives the broadcast
   interrupt. Though the interrupt is delivered right away from the
   broadcast handler and leaves the pending bit stale.

   Clear the pending bit for the current cpu in the broadcast handler.
