clockevents: Prevent oneshot mode when broadcast device is periodic
When the per cpu timer is marked CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_C3STOP, then we only can switch into oneshot mode, when the backup broadcast device supports oneshot mode as well. Otherwise we would try to switch the broadcast device into an unsupported mode unconditionally. This went unnoticed so far as the current available broadcast devices support oneshot mode. Seth unearthed this problem while debugging and working around an hpet related BIOS wreckage. Add the necessary check to tick_is_oneshot_available().
