Zqiang f596e2ce1c rcu: Use IRQ_WORK_INIT_HARD() to avoid rcu_read_unlock() hangs
When booting kernels built with both CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y
and CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y, the rcu_read_unlock_special() function's
invocation of irq_work_queue_on() the init_irq_work() causes the
rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handler() function to work execute in SCHED_FIFO
irq_work kthreads.  Because rcu_read_unlock_special() is invoked on each
rcu_read_unlock() in such kernels, the amount of work just keeps piling
up, resulting in a boot-time hang.

This commit therefore avoids this hang by using IRQ_WORK_INIT_HARD()
instead of init_irq_work(), but only in kernels built with both
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y and CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y.
