The current code support of dummy timers in absence of local
timer is compile time. This is an attempt to convert it to runtime
so that on few SOC version if the local timers aren't supported
kernel can switch to dummy timers. OMAP4430 ES1.0 does suffer from
this limitation.
This patch should not have any functional impact on affected
files.

When a CPU is hot unplugged, the generic tick code cleans up the
clock event device, but fails to call down to the device's set_mode
function to actually shut the device down.
To work around this, we've historically had a local_timer_stop()
callback out of the hotplug code. However, this adds needless
complexity when we have the clock event device itself available.
Explicitly call the clock event device's set_mode function with
CLOCK_EVT_MODE_UNUSED, so that the hardware can be cleanly shutdown
without any special external callbacks. When/if the generic code
is fixed, percpu_timer_stop() can be killed off.
