revert "softirq: Add support for triggering softirq work on softirqs"
This commit was incomplete in that code to remove items from the per-cpu lists was missing and never acquired a user in the 5 years it has been in the tree. We're going to implement what it seems to try to archive in a simpler way, and this code is in the way of doing so.
