powerpc/time: improve decrementer clockevent processing
The stop/shutdown op should not use decrementer_set_next_event because that sets decrementers_next_tb to now + decrementer_max, which means a decrementer interrupt that occurs after that time will call the clockevent event handler unexpectedly. Set next_tb to ~0 here to prevent any clock event call. Init all clockevents to stopped. Then the decrementer clockevent device always has event_handler set and applicable because we know the clock event device was not stopped. So make this call unconditional to show that it is always called. next_tb need not be set to ~0 before the event handler is called because it will stop the clockevent device if there is no other timer. Finally, the timer broadcast interrupt should not modify next_tb because it is not involved with the local decrementer clockevent on this CPU. This doesn't fix a known bug, just tidies the code.
