x86/nmi: Remove irq_work from the long duration NMI handler [ Upstream commit 248ed51048c40d36728e70914e38bffd7821da57 ] First, printk() is NMI-context safe now since the safe printk() has been implemented and it already has an irq_work to make NMI-context safe. Second, this NMI irq_work actually does not work if a NMI handler causes panic by watchdog timeout. It has no chance to run in such case, while the safe printk() will flush its per-cpu buffers before panicking. While at it, repurpose the irq_work callback into a function which concentrates the NMI duration checking and makes the code easier to follow.
