[PATCH 2/5] softirq: Reorder trace_softirqs_on to prevent lockdep splat

[Steven Rostedt]

From: "Joel Fernandes (Google)" <joel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I'm able to reproduce a lockdep splat with config options:
CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y,
CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y and
CONFIG_PREEMPTIRQ_EVENTS=y

$ echo 1 > /d/tracing/events/preemptirq/preempt_enable/enable

[   26.157105]  </IRQ>

The issue was this:

preempt_count = 1 << SOFTIRQ_SHIFT

	__local_bh_enable(cnt = 1 << SOFTIRQ_SHIFT) {
		if (softirq_count() == (cnt && SOFTIRQ_MASK)) {
			trace_softirqs_on() {
				current->softirqs_enabled = 1;
			}
		}
		preempt_count_sub(cnt) {
			trace_preempt_on() {
				tracepoint() {
					rcu_read_lock_sched() {
						// jumps into lockdep

Where preempt_count still has softirqs disabled, but
current->softirqs_enabled is true, and we get a splat.
