irq_work: Split raised and lazy lists
An irq work can be handled from two places: from the tick if the work
carries the "lazy" flag and the tick is periodic, or from a self IPI.
We merge all these works in a single list and we use some per cpu latch
to avoid raising a self-IPI when one is already pending.
Now we could do away with this ugly latch if only the list was only made of
non-lazy works. Just enqueueing a work on the empty list would be enough
to know if we need to raise an IPI or not.
Also we are going to implement remote irq work queuing. Then the per CPU
latch will need to become atomic in the global scope. That's too bad
because, here as well, just enqueueing a work on an empty list of
non-lazy works would be enough to know if we need to raise an IPI or not.
So lets take a way out of this: split the works in two distinct lists,
one for the works that can be handled by the next tick and another
one for those handled by the IPI. Just checking if the latter is empty
when we queue a new work is enough to know if we need to raise an IPI.
