Move the register slow register write and readback from out of the
critical path for execlists submission and delay it until the following
worker, shaving off around 200us. Note that the same signal_irq_work() is
allowed to run concurrently on each CPU (but it will only be queued once,
once running though it can be requeued and reexecuted) so we have to
remember to lock the global interactions as we cannot rely on the
signal_irq_work() itself providing the serialisation (in constrast to a
tasklet).
