Reverting the bad commit fixes the problem.

Please let me know if the following patch fixes the issue:

    clockevents: Fix build error caused by fix for hotplug race with hrtimer broadcast
    
    commit: c71309a3658d ("clockevents: Fix cpu_down() race for hrtimer based broadcasting")
    causes a build error on certain archs where CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS
    is not set. This patch fixes this.

I'm just going to drop this patch, as it's causing way too many problems
and something major is wrong with the backport, again.  It's obvious you
never tested this both times it was sent to me :(

Possibly it does, but why is the back-port so much different from the original
patch ? This would be the third declaration of this dummy function, which just
seems wrong. The original patch only needs one.

That is because these two patches simplified the layout of the related
files.

c1797baf6880174: tick: Move core only declarations and functions to core
b7475eb599ddb2e: tick: Simplify tick-internal.h

These patches are not yet in stable.

Then you should have asked for them to be merged as well.  I don't want
to deviate from what is in Linus's tree if at all possible.  This long
email exchange is the exact reason why (patch errors, build errors,
wasted time, confusion, etc.)

Please resend me the exact git commit ids that you wish to have added to
the stable tree, in the order you wish to have them added.  If something
needs to be changed/backported, be very explicit as to why it needs to
be changed, and that you have done so.
