Subject: [PATCH 1/2] irq_work: allow certain work in hard irq context
irq_work is processed in softirq context on -RT because we want to avoid
long latencies which might arise from processing lots of perf events.
The noHZ-full mode requires its callback to be called from real hardirq
context (commit 76c24fb ("nohz: New APIs to re-evaluate the tick on full
dynticks CPUs")). If it is called from a thread context we might get
wrong results for checks like "is_idle_task(current)".
This patch introduces a second list (hirq_work_list) which will be used
if irq_work_run() has been invoked from hardirq context and process only
work items marked with IRQ_WORK_HARD_IRQ.
This patch also removes arch_irq_work_raise() from sparc & powerpc like
it is already done for x86. Atleast for powerpc it is somehow
superfluous because it is called from the timer interrupt which should
invoke update_process_times().
