------------------------------------------------------
Subject: high-res timers: fix APIC event-broadcasting code
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx>

Fix a bug in the APCI-C3-turns-off-lapic related event-broadcasting code:
it accidentally reactivated the global tick, instead of the global event
emulation layer.

The effect of this bug was a rare bootup hang on one of my test-laptops
- but it could also result in other types of timer related problems (but
not hangs in an already running system), such as imprecise high-res
timeouts.

Debugged via SysRq-Q.
