Subject: [PATCH 1/2] irq_work: Reinitialize list heads for secondary CPUs

When printk_deferred() is used before percpu initialization, it will queue
up lazy IRQ work on the boot CPU; percpu initialization then copies the
work list head to all secondary CPUs. To ensure that the secondary CPUs
don't re-execute the boot CPU's work and whatever its ->next pointer leads
to, zero out the secondary CPUs' work list heads before bringing up SMP.
