Bibo Mao fe2a449a45 tick: Do not set device to detached state in tick_shutdown()
tick_shutdown() sets the state of the clockevent device to detached
first and the invokes clockevents_exchange_device(), which in turn
invokes clockevents_switch_state().

But clockevents_switch_state() returns without invoking the device shutdown
callback as the device is already in detached state. As a consequence the
timer device is not shutdown when a CPU goes offline.

tick_shutdown() does this because it was originally invoked on a online CPU
and not on the outgoing CPU. It therefore could not access the clockevent
device of the already offlined CPU and just set the state.

Since commit 3b1596a21f tick_shutdown() is called on the outgoing CPU, so
the hardware device can be accessed.

Remove the state set before calling clockevents_exchange_device(), so that
the subsequent clockevents_switch_state() handles the state transition and
invokes the shutdown callback of the clockevent device.
