x86/irq: Sanitize irq stack tracking
The recursion protection for hard interrupt stacks is an unsigned int per CPU variable initialized to -1 named __irq_count. The irq stack switching is only done when the variable is -1, which creates worse code than just checking for 0. When the stack switching happens it uses this_cpu_add/sub(1), but there is no reason to do so. It simply can use straight writes. This is a historical leftover from the low level ASM code which used inc and jz to make a decision. Rename it to hardirq_stack_inuse, make it a bool and use plain stores.
