Subject: [PATCH 4.4 075/113] ARC: Call trace_hardirqs_on() before enabling irqs

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Daniel Mentz <danielmentz@...gle.com>

commit 18b43e89d295cc65151c505c643c98fb2c320e59 upstream.

trace_hardirqs_on_caller() in lockdep.c expects to be called before, not
after interrupts are actually enabled.

The following comment in kernel/locking/lockdep.c substantiates this
claim:

"
/*
 * We're enabling irqs and according to our state above irqs weren't
 * already enabled, yet we find the hardware thinks they are in fact
 * enabled.. someone messed up their IRQ state tracing.
 */
"

An example can be found in include/linux/irqflags.h:

	do { trace_hardirqs_on(); raw_local_irq_enable(); } while (0)

Without this change, we hit the following DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON.
