[PATCH] ARM: irq_work: Do not attempt to IPI on non IPI-capable HW

Not all of the ARM HW is IPI capable (i.e. most of the non-SMP
systems). Unfortunately, some systems do advertise being SMP
capable, even if they have a single core and do not define
a cross call method. In this case, irq_work_queue dies
as arch_irq_work_has_interrupt() fails to detect this
particular case.
Let's redefine arch_irq_work_has_interrupt() to actually check
if we're IPI capable instead of simply being SMP. This sidesteps
the issue entierely.
