sched/idle: Conditionally handle tick broadcast in default_idle_call()
The x86 architecture has an idle routine for AMD CPUs which are affected by erratum 400. On the affected CPUs the local APIC timer stops in the C1E halt state. It therefore requires tick broadcasting. The invocation of tick_broadcast_enter()/exit() from this function violates the RCU constraints because it can end up in lockdep or tracing, which rightfully triggers a warning. tick_broadcast_enter()/exit() must be invoked before ct_cpuidle_enter() and after ct_cpuidle_exit() in default_idle_call(). Add a static branch conditional invocation of tick_broadcast_enter()/exit() into this function to allow X86 to replace the AMD specific idle code. It's guarded by a config switch which will be selected by x86. Otherwise it's a NOOP.
