[PATCH] ARM: Kconfig: select GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS_BROADCAST also on UP

Quite a few systems have deeper idle states where the local timer tick
stops to fire, that rely on the GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS_BROADCAST
infrastructure to switch to a global (non-stopping) clockevent device.
This is also true on UP systems, so select GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS_BROADCAST
unconditionally.

Instead only select ARCH_HAS_TICK_BROADCAST if SMP is present, as this
is only implemented for SMP systems.
