posix-timers: Spare workqueue if there is no full dynticks CPU to kick
After a posix cpu timer is set, a workqueue is scheduled in order to kick the full dynticks CPUs and let them restart their tick if necessary in case the task they are running is concerned by the new timer. This kick is implemented by way of IPIs, which require interrupts to be enabled, hence the need for a workqueue to raise them because the posix cpu timer set path has interrupts disabled. Now if there is no full dynticks CPU on the system, the workqueue is still scheduled but it simply won't send any IPI and return immediately. So lets spare that worqueue when it is not needed.
