[PATCH RT 10/12] irqwork: Move irq safe work to irq context

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

3.18.27-rt26-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

On architectures where arch_irq_work_has_interrupt() returns false, we
end up running the irq safe work from the softirq context. That
results in a potential deadlock in the scheduler irq work which
expects that function to be called with interrupts disabled.

Split the irq_work_tick() function into a hard and soft variant. Call
the hard variant from the tick interrupt and add the soft variant to
the timer softirq.
