x86/apic: Order irq_enter/exit() calls correctly vs. ack_APIC_irq()

===============================
[ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ]
4.8.0-rc6+ #5 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 = 0
RCU used illegally from extended quiescent state!
no locks held by swapper/2/0.

stack backtrace:
CPU: 2 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/2 Not tainted 4.8.0-rc6+ #5

This can be reproduced readily by running ftrace test case of kselftest.

Move the irq_enter() call before ack_APIC_irq(), because irq_enter() tells
the RCU susbstems to end the extended quiescent state, so that the
following trace call in ack_APIC_irq() works correctly. The same applies to
exiting_ack_irq() which calls ack_APIC_irq() after irq_exit().
