Subject: start_kernel(): bug: interrupts were enabled early

On latest git, I'm seeing "start_kernel(): bug: interrupts were enabled
early" messages on ARM (sample log below).

This appears to be caused by:

  start_kernel -> radix_tree_init -> kmem_cache_create (slub) ->
   down_write -> __down_write (lib/rwsem-spinlock.c) -> spin_unlock_irq

radix_tree_init was moved earlier by:

  commit 773e3eb7b81e5ba13b5155dfb3bb75b8ce37f8f9
  Author: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@...nel.org>

      init: Move radix_tree_init() early

      Prepare for using radix trees in early_irq_init().
