Thanks for the report. I found the issue and pushed the fix to

    tick: Prevent periodic handler from stomping over highres/nohz mode
    
    We switch to highres/nohz from the hard interrupt context now. So the
    periodic handler will see event mode periodic and try to reschedule
    the timer interrupt. But that's not what we want as the hrtimer/nohz
    code is taking care of it. Check whether the eventhandler has changed
    and return.
    
    Needs to be folded back for the final merge.
