It returns true because the kernel was built with CONFIG_SMP=y.

On ARM we have:

static inline bool arch_irq_work_has_interrupt(void)
{
    return is_smp();
}

and then:

static inline bool is_smp(void)
{
#ifndef CONFIG_SMP
    return false;
#elif defined(CONFIG_SMP_ON_UP)
    extern unsigned int smp_on_up;
    return !!smp_on_up;
#else
    return true;
#endif
}

So if CONFIG_SMP=y,  is_smp() returns 1.

As I mentioned before, the reboot problem does not happen with CONFIG_SMP=n.
