clockevents: prevent endless loop in periodic broadcast handler

The reprogramming of the periodic broadcast handler was broken,
when the first programming returned -ETIME. The clockevents code
stores the new expiry value in the clock events device next_event field
only when the programming time has not been elapsed yet. The loop in
question calculates the new expiry value from the next_event value
and therefor never increases.
