    Impact: fix to preempt trace triggering lockdep check_flag failure
    
    In local_bh_disable, the use of add_preempt_count causes the
    preempt tracer to start recording the time preemption is off.
    But because it already modified the preempt_count to show
    softirqs disabled, and before it called the lockdep code to
    handle this, it causes a state that lockdep can not handle.
    
    The preempt tracer will reset the ring buffer on start of a trace,
    and the ring buffer reset code does a spin_lock_irqsave. This
    calls into lockdep and lockdep will fail when it detects the
    invalid state of having softirqs disabled but the internal
    current->softirqs_enabled is still set.
    
    The fix is to manually add the SOFTIRQ_OFFSET to preempt count
    and call the preempt tracer code outside the lockdep critical
    area.
    
    Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for suggesting this solution.
