tick: Provide a check for a forced broadcast pending

On the CPU which gets woken along with the target CPU of the broadcast
the following happens:

  deep_idle()
<-- spurious wakeup
  broadcast_exit()
    set forced bit

  enable interrupts

<-- Nothing happens

  disable interrupts

  broadcast_enter()
<-- Here we observe the forced bit is set
  deep_idle()

Now after that the target CPU of the broadcast runs the broadcast
handler and finds the other CPU in both the broadcast and the forced
mask, sends the IPI and stuff gets back to normal.

So it's not actually harmful, just more evidence for the theory, that
hardware designers have access to very special drug supplies.

Now there is no point in going back to deep idle just to wake up again
right away via an IPI. Provide a check which allows the idle code to
avoid the deep idle transition.
