tick/broadcast: Prevent hrtimer recursion

The hrtimer based broadcast vehicle can cause a hrtimer recursion
which went unnoticed until we changed the hrtimer expiry code to keep
track of the currently running timer.

local_timer_interrupt()
local_handler()
hrtimer_interrupt()
expire_hrtimers()
broadcast_hrtimer()
send_ipis()
local_handler()
hrtimer_interrupt()
....

Solution is simple: Prevent the local handler call from the broadcast
code when the broadcast 'device' is hrtimer based.
