    x86/HPET: fix race triggering ASSERT(cpu < nr_cpu_ids)
    
    CPUs may share an in-use channel. Hence clearing of a bit from the
    cpumask (in hpet_broadcast_exit()) as well as setting one (in
    hpet_broadcast_enter()) must not race evaluation of that same cpumask.
    Therefore avoid evaluating the cpumask twice in hpet_detach_channel().
    Otherwise cpumask_empty() may e.g.return false while the subsequent
    cpumask_first() could return nr_cpu_ids, which then triggers the
    assertion in cpumask_of() reached through set_channel_irq_affinity().
