Actually this warning is resulting from a bug in the tick broadcast code
and has been solved with commit:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git/commit/?h=timers/urgent&id=ea8deb8dfa6b0e8d1b3d1051585706739b46656c

This patch has been merged in timers/urgent branch but still need to
merged with timers/core.

The patch below does not fix the warning but prevents the tick warning
to occur. Applying the patch above will fix your problem.
