This doesn't work in all cases:

error: local ambiguity when calling macro `impl_has_work`: multiple
parsing options: built-in NTs tt ('generics') or 1 other option.
   --> ../rust/kernel/workqueue.rs:522:11
    |
522 |     impl<T> HasWork<Self> for ClosureWork<T> { self.work }

The reason that `impl_has_list_links` uses <> and all others use {} is
that `impl_has_list_links` is the only one that captures the generic
parameter as an `ident`, the rest use `tt`. So we could change
`impl_has_list_links` to use {}, but not the other way around.
