With current tick_do_broadcast_on_off() and tick_broadcast_on_off(),
it only cares host cpu, and doesn't really support to make the on/off
for another target CPU as it seems to be. So remove the unneeded
online check and add a WARN to notify user who doesn't know this
new usage model.

Next step should be to remove those cases that sends the BROADCAST
ON/OFF/FORCE msg on one cpu for another CPU, if this patch is reviewed
to be ok.
