Sorry but I still don't understand what problem you think can happen
here. What is wrong with calling schedule_work() from the IRQ work
handler?

Both irq_work_queue() and schedule_work() are calls to queue deferred
work. It does not matter when the work is queued (providing we are lock
safe). What matters is when the work is actually executed.

Please can you describe the problem you think exists based on when the
work is executed.
