clockevents: Provide explicit broadcast oneshot control functions
clockevents_notify() is a leftover from the early design of the clockevents facility. It's really not a notification mechanism, it's a multiplex call. We are way better off to have explicit calls instead of this monstrosity. Split out the broadcast oneshot control into a separate function and provide inline helpers. Switch clockevents_notify() over. This will go away once all callers are converted. This also gets rid of the nested locking of clockevents_lock and broadcast_lock. The broadcast oneshot control functions do not require clockevents_lock. Only the managing functions (setup/shutdown/suspend/resume of the broadcast device require clockevents_lock.
