[PATCH 4/5] nohz: Move full nohz kick to its own IPI

[Frederic Weisbecker]

Now that the irq work subsystem can queue remote callbacks, it's
a perfect fit to safely queue IPIs when interrupts are disabled
without worrying about concurrent callers.

Lets use it for the full dynticks kick to notify a CPU that it's
exiting single task mode.

This unbloats a bit the scheduler IPI that the nohz code was abusing
for its cool "callable anywhere/anytime" properties.
