cpuidle: remove hpet access in hpet_broadcast_exit

hpet_broadcast_exit calls reprogram_hpet to stop possible hpet intr if the last 
deep-cstate waken up cpu is waken by unexpected intrs instead of hpet broadcast 
handler. This can be removed without brings much useless intrs, but bring 
chance for further optimization. It is a tradeoff between grace & optimization.

BTW, move the cpumask set out of critial section in hpet_broadcast_enter to 
shorten it.
