irq_work: Use per cpu atomics instead of regular atomics

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:

After:

    438	      8	      1	    447	    1bf	kernel/irq_work.o
