x86/apic: Fix suspicious RCU usage in smp_trace_call_function_interrupt()

Since 4.4, I've been able to trigger this occasionally:

===============================
[ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ]
4.5.0-rc7-think+ #3 Not tainted

-------------------------------
./arch/x86/include/asm/msr-trace.h:47 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

other info that might help us debug this:

RCU used illegally from idle CPU!
rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1
RCU used illegally from extended quiescent state!
no locks held by swapper/3/0.

stack backtrace:
CPU: 3 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/3 Not tainted 4.5.0-rc7-think+ #3

Move the entering_irq() call before ack_APIC_irq(), because entering_irq()
tells the RCU susbstems to end the extended quiescent state, so that the
following trace call in ack_APIC_irq() works correctly.
