[RFC PATCH] powerpc: tick broadcast handler should call tick_receive_broadcast

[RFC PATCH] powerpc: tick broadcast handler should call tick_receive_broadcast

[Nicholas Piggin]

Recently looking through the broadcast timers code, and I wonder if
we should be calling tick_receive_broadcast() here? Our __timer_interrupt()
works on the decrementer clockevent device, but we should be working on
the broadcast device I think? We must get away with it somehow, but I
see most other archs doing this and it seems to work, so I wonder if we
should take broadcasts this way?
