Larry Bassel eb631bb5bf arm64: Support arch_irq_work_raise() via self IPIs
Support for arch_irq_work_raise() was missing from
arm64 (a prerequisite for FULL_NOHZ).

This patch is based on the arm32 patch ARM 7872/1.

    ARM: 7872/1: Support arch_irq_work_raise() via self IPIs

    By default, IRQ work is run from the tick interrupt (see
    irq_work_run() in update_process_times()). When we're in full
    NOHZ mode, restarting the tick requires the use of IRQ work and
    if the only place we run IRQ work is in the tick interrupt we
    have an unbreakable cycle. Implement arch_irq_work_raise() via
    self IPIs to break this cycle and get the tick started again.
    Note that we implement this via IPIs which are only available on
    SMP builds. This shouldn't be a problem because full NOHZ is only
    supported on SMP builds anyway.
