Commit 89878baa73f0f1c679355006bd8632e5d78f96c2 introduced the flag CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIMER_STOP where we specify a specific idle state stops the local timer. Commit a06df062a189a8d5588babb8bf0bb78672497798 introduced the initialization of the timer broadcast framework depending of the flag presence. If a system is booted with some cpus offline, by setting for example, maxcpus=1 in the kernel command line, and then they are set online, the timer broadcast won't be setup automatically. Fix this by adding the cpu hotplug notifier and enable/disable the timer broadcast automatically. So no need to handle that at the arch specific driver level like eg. intel_idle does.
