[RESEND] [PATCH] tracing: fix softirq flag detection

From: Pavankumar Kondeti
Date: Fri Dec 09 2016 - 11:21:09 EST


The 's' flag is supposed to indicate that a softirq is running. This
can be detected by testing the preempt_count with SOFTIRQ_OFFSET.

The current code tests the preempt_count with SOFTIRQ_MASK, which
would be true even when softirqs are disabled but not serving a
softirq.
