tick/nohz_full: Don't abuse smp_call_function_single() in tick_setup_device()

Browse source 
After the recent commit 5097cbcb38 ("sched/isolation: Prevent boot crash
when the boot CPU is nohz_full") the kernel no longer crashes, but there is
another problem.

In this case tick_setup_device() calls tick_take_do_timer_from_boot() to
update tick_do_timer_cpu and this triggers the WARN_ON_ONCE(irqs_disabled)
in smp_call_function_single().

Kill tick_take_do_timer_from_boot() and just use WRITE_ONCE(), the new
comment explains why this is safe (thanks Thomas!).
