Make Tiny call_rcu() safe to call from unknown context: when interrupts
are disabled and the scheduler is up, stage the callback on a lockless
list that an irq_work re-issues later.  One global list and irq_work are
enough since Tiny RCU is uniprocessor, and there is no CPU-offline
drain.  Gated by CONFIG_RCU_DEFER, like Tree RCU.
