tick/broadcast: Serialize access to tick_next_period
tick_broadcast_setup_oneshot() accesses tick_next_period twice without any
serialization. This is wrong in two aspects:
- Reading it twice might make the broadcast data inconsistent if the
variable is updated concurrently.
- On 32bit systems the access might see an partial update
Protect it with jiffies_lock. That's safe as none of the callchains leading
up to this function can create a lock ordering violation:
timer interrupt
run_local_timers()
hrtimer_run_queues()
hrtimer_switch_to_hres()
tick_init_highres()
tick_switch_to_oneshot()
tick_broadcast_switch_to_oneshot()
or
tick_check_oneshot_change()
tick_nohz_switch_to_nohz()
tick_switch_to_oneshot()
tick_broadcast_switch_to_oneshot()
