I think a better solution will be to make this function return 1 if
it generated a backtrace.

That way we can fall back to the generic schedule_work based
codepath.

Albeit the best and cleanest solution would be to implement a
workqueue based trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() __weak variant and throw
away the workqueue bits from sysrq.c.
