clockevents: Stop unused clockevent devices

Browse source

To avoid getting spurious interrupts on a tickless CPU, clockevent
device can now be stopped by switching to ONESHOT_STOPPED state.

The natural place for handling this transition is tick_program_event().

On 'expires == KTIME_MAX', we skip programming the event and so we need
to fix such call sites as well, to always call tick_program_event()
irrespective of the expires value.

Once the clockevent device is required again, check if it was earlier
put into ONESHOT_STOPPED state. If yes, switch its state to ONESHOT
before programming its event.

To make sure we haven't missed any corner case, add a WARN() for the
case where we try to reprogram clockevent device while we aren't
configured in ONESHOT_STOPPED state.
