[PATCH v2 03/11] firmware: arm_ffa: Avoid collapsing NPI work from different CPUs

Notification pending interrupts are registered as per-CPU IRQs, but the
driver queues all NPI handling through a single shared work_struct.
That allows queue_work_on() calls from different CPUs to collapse onto a
single pending work item even though the work function uses the CPU it
runs on to fetch and handle per-CPU notifications.
Move notif_pcpu_work into the per-CPU ffa_pcpu_irq state and initialize
one work item per CPU. This keeps NPI handling independent per CPU and
avoids losing notifications when multiple CPUs queue work concurrently.
