Subject: [PATCH] genirq: use simple work queue for polling spurious irq

Spurious irq will be disabled and then polled through mod_timer in
interrupt context. While mod_timer has a common spin_lock operation
thus will cause an error: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid
context.

Move the mod_timer into simple work queue to fix it.
