irq_work: Force raised irq work to run on irq work interrupt

Browse Source 
The nohz full kick, which restarts the tick when any resource depend
on it, can't be executed anywhere given the operation it does on timers.
If it is called from the scheduler or timers code, chances are that
we run into a deadlock.

This is why we run the nohz full kick from an irq work. That way we make
sure that the kick runs on a virgin context.

However if that's the case when irq work runs in its own dedicated
self-ipi, things are different for the big bunch of archs that don't
support the self triggered way. In order to support them, irq works are
also handled by the timer interrupt as fallback.

Now when irq works run on the timer interrupt, the context isn't blank.
More precisely, they can run in the context of the hrtimer that runs the
tick. But the nohz kick cancels and restarts this hrtimer and cancelling
an hrtimer from itself isn't allowed. This is why we run in an endless
loop:

To fix this we force non-lazy irq works to run on irq work self-IPIs
when available. That ability of the arch to trigger irq work self IPIs
is available with arch_irq_work_has_interrupt().
