clockevents: do not shutdown the oneshot broadcast device

When a cpu goes offline it is removed from the broadcast masks. If the
mask becomes empty the code shuts down the broadcast device. This is
wrong, because the broadcast device needs to be ready for the online
cpu going idle (into a c-state, which stops the local apic timer).
