irqwork: push most work into softirq context



Initially we defered all irqwork into softirq because we didn't want the
latency spikes if perf or another user was busy and delayed the RT task.
The NOHZ trigger (nohz_full_kick_work) was the first user that did not work
as expected if it did not run in the original irqwork context so we had to
bring it back somehow for it. push_irq_work_func is the second one that
requires this.

This patch adds the IRQ_WORK_HARD_IRQ which makes sure the callback runs
in raw-irq context. Everything else is defered into softirq context. Without
-RT we have the orignal behavior.

This patch incorporates tglx orignal work which revoked a little bringing back
the arch_irq_work_raise() if possible and a few fixes from Steven Rostedt and
Mike Galbraith,

[bigeasy: melt tglx's irq_work_tick_soft() which splits irq_work_tick() into a
          hard and soft variant]
