rcu: Use an intermediate irq_work to start process_srcu()

Since commit c27cea4 ("rcu: Re-implement RCU Tasks Trace in terms
of SRCU-fast") we switched to SRCU in BPF. However as BPF instrument can
happen basically everywhere (including where a scheduler lock is held),
call_srcu() now needs to avoid acquiring scheduler lock because
otherwise it could cause deadlock [1]. Fix this by following what the
previous RCU Tasks Trace did: using an irq_work to delay the queuing of
the work to start process_srcu().
