irq_work, smp: Allow irq_work on call_single_queue
Currently irq_work_queue_on() will issue an unconditional arch_send_call_function_single_ipi() and has the handler do irq_work_run(). This is unfortunate in that it makes the IPI handler look at a second cacheline and it misses the opportunity to avoid the IPI. Instead note that struct irq_work and struct __call_single_data are very similar in layout, so use a few bits in the flags word to encode a type and stick the irq_work on the call_single_queue list.
