The irq work interrupt is optional: If an architecture does not provide
it then the callback will be run from update_process_times(). This does
not work well for nohz_full_kick_work_func() as we learned in commit
76a33061b932 ("irq_work: Force raised irq work to run on irq work
interrupt").This patch is just a precaution to ensure that that an irq work interrupt is required and the timer callback is not enough.
