MIPS, Perf-events: Work with irq_work

This is the MIPS part of the following commit by Peter Zijlstra:

    irq_work: Add generic hardirq context callbacks

    Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is
    most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the
    system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers.

    Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as
    a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also
    benefit.

    The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where
    possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the
    built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately.

    Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a
    callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call
    irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such
    work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in
    processing the work.

For MIPSXX, we need to call irq_work_run() at the tail of the perf IRQ
handler as described above.
