[PATCH V4 8/9] cpuidle/ppc: Nominate new broadcast cpu on hotplug of the old

On hotplug of the broadcast cpu, cancel the hrtimer queued to do
broadcast and nominate a new broadcast cpu.

We choose the new broadcast cpu as one of the cpus in deep idle and thus
send an ipi to wake it up to continue the duty of broadcast. The new
broadcast cpu needs to find out if it woke up to resume broadcast.
If so it needs to restart the broadcast hrtimer on itself.

Its possible that the old broadcast cpu was hotplugged out when the broadcast
hrtimer was about to fire on it. Therefore the newly nominated broadcast cpu
should set the broadcast hrtimer on itself to expire immediately so as to not
miss wakeups under such scenarios.
