Li Zhong 1a7f829f09 nohz: Fix notifier return val that enforce timekeeping
In tick_nohz_cpu_down_callback() if the cpu is the one handling
timekeeping, we must return something that stops the CPU_DOWN_PREPARE
notifiers and then start notify CPU_DOWN_FAILED on the already called
notifier call backs.

However traditional errno values are not handled by the notifier unless
these are encapsulated using errno_to_notifier().

Hence the current -EINVAL is misinterpreted and converted to junk after
notifier_to_errno(), leaving the notifier subsystem to random behaviour
such as eventually allowing the cpu to go down.

Fix this by using the standard NOTIFY_BAD instead.
