Subject: tick/broadcast: Prevent NULL pointer dereference
When a disfunctional timer, e.g. dummy timer, is installed, the tick core
tries to setup the broadcast timer.
If no broadcast device is installed, the kernel crashes with a NULL pointer
dereference in tick_broadcast_setup_oneshot() because the function has no
sanity check.
