The same fix was applied last month:

df42c49ec865 ("workqueue: Use raise_softirq() to trigger softirq in
irq_work handler")

but I mistakenly applied it to the already closed for-7.1-fixes branch
and it never reached mainline. It's now cherry-picked to
wq/for-7.3-fixes and will go to mainline and then -stable this cycle.
Thanks for the fix and sorry about the confusion.
