[PATCH printk v3 2/2] printk/nbcon: Change nbcon_irq_work to IRQ_WORK_LAZY

[John Ogness]

Change the nbcon_irq_work to be IRQ_WORK_LAZY, thus not raising
an IRQ upon irq_work queuing. The irq_work is then handled on the
next kernel tick. This additional delay is acceptable because
nbcon_irq_work is only responsible for non-emergency deferred
printing, which is delayed anyway. This has the benefit of not
needing to raise an IRQ for each printk() call.

On a side note, the Tegra20 and Tegra30 platforms can hang if an
irq_work IRQ is raised while entering cpuidle states. This problem
was reproducible by calling printk() while entering cpuidle. So
this change also provides a workaround for these platforms (as long
as they are not running tickless).
