Subject: irqwork: Move irq safe work to irq context
Git-repo: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git
Git-commit: b09143dbe6da07d6dbf079ffed9bd7a14946ac37
Patch-mainline: Queued in subsystem maintainer repository
References: SLE Realtime Extension

On architectures where arch_irq_work_has_interrupt() returns false, we
end up running the irq safe work from the softirq context. That
results in a potential deadlock in the scheduler irq work which
expects that function to be called with interrupts disabled.

Split the irq_work_tick() function into a hard and soft variant. Call
the hard variant from the tick interrupt and add the soft variant to
the timer softirq.
