clockevent: Prevent dead lock on clockevents_lock
This is a merge of two mainline commits, intended for stable@kernel.org submission for 2.6.27 kernel. commit f833bab87fca5c3ce13778421b1365845843b976 and commit 918aae42aa9b611a3663b16ae849fdedc67c2292 Changelog of both: Currently clockevents_notify() is called with interrupts enabled at some places and interrupts disabled at some other places. This results in a deadlock in this scenario. cpu A holds clockevents_lock in clockevents_notify() with irqs enabled cpu B waits for clockevents_lock in clockevents_notify() with irqs disabled cpu C doing set_mtrr() which will try to rendezvous of all the cpus. This will result in C and A come to the rendezvous point and waiting for B. B is stuck forever waiting for the spinlock and thus not reaching the rendezvous point. Fix the clockevents code so that clockevents_lock is taken with interrupts disabled and thus avoid the above deadlock. Also call lapic_timer_propagate_broadcast() on the destination cpu so that we avoid calling smp_call_function() in the clockevents notifier chain. This issue left us wondering if we need to change the MTRR rendezvous logic to use stop machine logic (instead of smp_call_function) or add a check in spinlock debug code to see if there are other spinlocks which gets taken under both interrupts enabled/disabled conditions.

We really want to do nothing here on !ARCH_APICTIMER_STOPS_ON_C3, so modify lapic_timer_propagate_broadcast() of real version to use smp_call_function_single() in it.
