[PATCH 2/3] irq_work: Flush lazy work CPU down on PREEMPT_RT

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>]

PREEMPT_RT invokes IRQ_WORK_LAZY callbacks and callbacks which are not
explicitly marked IRQ_WORK_HARD_IRQ from thread context.  If a CPU gets
shutdown, the irq_work is flushed during smpcfd_dying_cpu() which is
invoked on the target CPU with disabled interrupts.

The callbacks enqueued on lazy_list on PREEMPT_RT are not flushed because
they require thread context. The callbacks remain and get processed once
the CPU gets back online.

per-CPU irq_work items continue to work for enqueues on their local-CPU,
only the work on the "offline" CPU get stuck. "Single" irq_work are
worse because they remain "claimed" and can not be used again. One
"symptom" is the late printk() in CPU down path which enqueues the
irq_work for printing but it never gets scheduled. Further prints don't
print to the console because the irq_work is "pending" of the offline
CPU.
Another problem is the canceling/ flushing of the irq_work which is
stuck. Since the irq_work will not continue, the task waiting for its
completion will block waiting.

While looking through the users of irq_work, it does not matter if the
callback is enqueued on another CPU. This makes it possible to invoke
the callbacks from a remote CPU by smpcfd_dead_cpu(). This is invoked
from the control CPU with enabled interrupts shortly after the
hotplugged CPU is shutdown so the llist can be accessed safely.

Add irq_work_run_cpu() which invokes the irq_work callbacks of the
specified dead CPU. Invoke it from smpcfd_dead_cpu().
