We can identify the broadcast device in the core and serialize all
callers including interrupts on a different CPU against the update.
Also, disabling interrupts is moved into the core allowing callers to
leave interrutps enabled when calling clockevents_update_freq().

./arch/arm/kernel/smp_twd.c should be modified to call __clockevents_update_freq instead of clockevents_update_freq, no ?
