If a CPU registers more than one per cpu clock event device, then only the active clock event device is removed on CPU_DEAD. The unused devices are kept in the clock events device list. On CPU up the clock event devices are registered again, which means that we list_add an already enqueued list_head. That results in list corruption. Resolve this by removing all devices which are associated to the dead CPU on CPU_DEAD.
