While we enqueue a new timer on a dynticks target, we must send it an
IPI so that it reschedules the next tick accordingly.
Now all we need for that is to run irq_exit() on the target. Hence
an empty IRQ is way enough. We don't need to run tick_nohz_full_check()
and all the overhead that comes with the several cmpxchg() necessary for
irq work list and state progress.
So lets use a void irq work instead.
