Thomas Gleixner 4096fd0e8e clockevents: Add missing resets of the next_event_forced flag
The prevention mechanism against timer interrupt starvation missed to reset
the next_event_forced flag in a couple of places:

    - When the clock event state changes. That can cause the flag to be
      stale over a shutdown/startup sequence

    - When a non-forced event is armed, which then prevents rearming before
      that event. If that event is far out in the future this will cause
      missed timer interrupts.

    - In the suspend wakeup handler.

That led to stalls which have been reported by several people.

Add the missing resets, which fixes the problems for the reporters.
