The local nohz kick is currently used by perf which needs it to be
NMI-safe. Recent commit though (7d1311b9

)
changed its implementation to fire the local kick using the remote kick
API. It was convenient to make the code more generic but the remote kick
isn't NMI-safe.

As a result:

Lets fix this by restoring the use of local irq work for the nohz local
kick.
