Function clockevents_switch_state() will check whether it has already
switched to specified state, do nothing if it has.
In function tick_shutdown(), it will set detached state at first and
call clockevents_switch_state() in clockevents_exchange_device(). The
function clockevents_switch_state() will do nothing since it is already
detached state. So the tick timer device will not be shutdown when CPU
is offline.
Here remove state set before calling clockevents_exchange_device(),
its state will be set in function clockevents_switch_state() if it
succeeds to do so.

v1 ... v2:
1. Add Fixes tag in patch 1 since those commits removed shutdown calls
made from drivers that assumed the timer core would do so.
2. Remove clockevents shutdown call on LoongArch cpu offline
