[ Upstream commit abc3fce76adbdfa8f87272c784b388cd20b46049 ]
This reverts commit ebb37cf3ffd39fdb6ec5b07111f8bb2f11d92c5f.
That commit does not play well with soft-masked irq state manipulations in idle, interrupt replay, and possibly others due to tracing code sometimes using irq_work_queue (e.g., in trace_hardirqs_on()). That can cause PACA_IRQ_DEC to become set when it is not expected, and be ignored or cleared or cause warnings.
The net result seems to be missing an irq_work until the next timer interrupt in the worst case which is usually not going to be noticed, however it could be a long time if the tick is disabled, which is against the spirit of irq_work and might cause real problems.
The idea is still solid, but it would need more work. It's not really clear if it would be worth added complexity, so revert this for now (not a straight revert, but replace with a comment explaining why we might see interrupts happening, and gives git blame something to find).
