time/tick-broadcast: Fix tick_broadcast_offline() lockdep complaint

The TASKS03 and TREE04 rcutorture scenarios produce the following
lockdep complaint:

WARNING: inconsistent lock state

[...]

To reproduce, run the following rcutorture test:

$ tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/kvm.sh --duration 5 --kconfig "CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y" --configs "TASKS03 TREE04"

It turns out that tick_broadcast_offline() was an innocent bystander.
After all, interrupts are supposed to be disabled throughout
take_cpu_down(), and therefore should have been disabled upon entry to
tick_offline_cpu() and thus to tick_broadcast_offline(). This suggests
that one of the CPU-hotplug notifiers was incorrectly enabling interrupts,
and leaving them enabled on return.

Some debugging code showed that the culprit was sched_cpu_dying().
It had irqs enabled after return from sched_tick_stop(). Which in turn
had irqs enabled after return from cancel_delayed_work_sync(). Which is a
wrapper around __cancel_work_timer(). Which can sleep in the case where
something else is concurrently trying to cancel the same delayed work,
and as Thomas Gleixner pointed out on IRC, sleeping is a decidedly bad
idea when you are invoked from take_cpu_down(), regardless of the state
you leave interrupts in upon return.

Code inspection located no reason why the delayed work absolutely
needed to be canceled from sched_tick_stop(): The work is not
bound to the outgoing CPU by design, given that the whole point is
to collect statistics without disturbing the outgoing CPU.

This commit therefore simply drops the cancel_delayed_work_sync() from
sched_tick_stop(). Instead, a new ->state field is added to the tick_work
structure so that the delayed-work handler function sched_tick_remote()
can avoid reposting itself. A cpu_is_offline() check is also added to
sched_tick_remote() to avoid mucking with the state of an offlined CPU
(though it does appear safe to do so). The sched_tick_start() and
sched_tick_stop() functions also update ->state, and sched_tick_start()
also schedules the delayed work if ->state indicates that it is not
already in flight.
