timers: Remove delayed irqwork from alarmtimers implementation

Thomas asked about the delayed irq work in the alarmtimers code,
and I realized that it was a legacy from when the alarmtimer base
lock was a mutex (due to concerns that we'd be interacting with
the RTC device, which is protected by mutexes).

Since the alarmtimer base is now protected by a spinlock, we can
simply execute alarmtimer functions directly from the hrtimer
callback. Should any future alarmtimer functions sleep, they can
simply manage scheduling any delayed work themselves.
