clockevents: Handle empty cpumask gracefully

For UP it's stupid to request an initialized cpumask for the clock
event devices. Though we need the mask set even on UP to avoid a
horrible ifdeffery especially in the broadcast code.

For SMP we can at least try to survive with a warning and set the
cpumask of the cpu we're running on. That gives a decent chance to
bring the machine up and retrieve the debug info.
