irq_work: Fix irq_work_claim() memory ordering

Browse Source 
When irq_work_claim() finds IRQ_WORK_PENDING flag already set, we just
return and don't raise a new IPI. We expect the destination to see
and handle our latest updades thanks to the pairing atomic_xchg()
in irq_work_run_list().

But cmpxchg() doesn't guarantee a full memory barrier upon failure. So
it's possible that the destination misses our latest updates.

So use atomic_fetch_or() instead that is unconditionally fully ordered
and also performs exactly what we want here and simplify the code.
