__local_bh_enable_ip() vs lockdep

[Heiko Carstens]

Hello,

the ftrace stack tracer kernel selftest is able to trigger the warning
below from time to time. This looks like there is an ordering problem
in __local_bh_enable_ip():
first there is a call to lockdep_softirqs_on() and afterwards
preempt_count_sub() is ftraced before it was able to modify
preempt_count:
