irq_work: Use per cpu atomics instead of regular atomics

Browse Source 
The irq work queue is a per cpu object and it is sufficient for
synchronization if per cpu atomics are used. Doing so simplifies
the code and reduces the overhead of the code.

Before:

christoph@linux-2.6$ size kernel/irq_work.o
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
    451	      8	      1	    460	    1cc	kernel/irq_work.o

After:

christoph@linux-2.6$ size kernel/irq_work.o 
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
    438	      8	      1	    447	    1bf	kernel/irq_work.o
