When irq_work_claim() finds IRQ_WORK_PENDING flag already set, we just return and don't raise a new IPI. We expect the destination to see and handle our latest updades thanks to the pairing atomic_xchg() in irq_work_run_list(). But cmpxchg() doesn't guarantee a full memory barrier upon failure. So it's possible that the destination misses our latest updates. So use atomic_fetch_or() instead that is unconditionally fully ordered and also performs exactly what we want here and simplify the code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
