[RFC/OPTIONAL PATCH 5/5] softirq: Reset vector call counter before workqueue completion

[Frederic Weisbecker]

Once a softirq vector queue has been completed from the workqueue, its
call counter for the current jiffy frame can be reset in order to handle
those that will follow from the normal IRQ tail softirq processing.
