This changes from what we use to have:

Original:

	ipi_entering_ack_irq();
	trace_irq_work_entry(IRQ_WORK_VECTOR);
	inc_irq_stat(apic_irq_work_irqs);
	irq_work_run();

Patched:

	ipi_entering_ack_irq();
	inc_irq_stat(apic_irq_work_irqs);
	trace_irq_work_entry(IRQ_WORK_VECTOR);
	irq_work_run();

Is there a reason for the swap? It's not mentioned in the change log.

Also, tracepoints can issue new irq works. I don't think that would be
a problem here, as interrupts are disabled in this path. Just wanted to
point it out.
