lockdep: Correctly annotate hardirq context in irq_exit()
There was a reported deadlock on -rt which lockdep didn't report.
It turns out that in irq_exit() we tell lockdep that the hardirq
context ends and then do all kinds of locking afterwards.
To fix it, move trace_hardirq_exit() to the very end of irq_exit(), this
ensures all locking in tick_irq_exit() and rcu_irq_exit() are properly
recorded as happening from hardirq context.
This however leads to the 'fun' little problem of running softirqs
while in hardirq context. To cure this make the softirq code a little
more complex (in the CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS case).
Due to stack swizzling arch dependent trickery we cannot pass an
argument to __do_softirq() to tell it if it was done from hardirq
context or not; so use a side-band argument.
When we do __do_softirq() from hardirq context, 'atomically' flip to
softirq context and back, so that no locking goes without being in
either hard- or soft-irq context.
I didn't find any new problems in mainline using this patch, but it
did show the -rt problem.
