nohz: Implement wide kick on top of irq work

It simplifies it and allows wide kick to be performed, even when IRQs
are disabled, without an asynchronous level in the middle.

This comes at a cost of some more overhead on features like perf and
posix cpu timers slow-paths, which is probably not much important
for nohz full users.
