irq_work: Convert flags to atomic_t

Browse source

We need to convert flags to atomic_t in order to later fix an ordering
issue on atomic_cmpxchg() failure. This will allow us to use atomic_fetch_or().

Also clarify the nature of those flags.

[ mingo: Converted two more usage site the original patch missed. ]
