lib/irq_poll: Support schedules in non-interrupt contexts

Do not assume irq_poll_sched() is called from an interrupt context only.
So use raise_softirq_irqoff() instead of __raise_softirq_irqoff() so it
will kick the ksoftirqd if the schedule is from a non-interrupt context.

This is required for RDMA drivers, like soft iwarp, that generate cq
completion notifications in a workqueue or kthread context.  Without this
change, siw completion notifications to the ULP can take several hundred
usecs, depending on the system load.
