As this is something that ftrace recursion also does, perhaps we should
move this into interrupt.h so that anyone that needs a counter can get
it quickly, and not keep re-implementing it.

/*
 * Quickly find what context you are in.
 * 0 - normal
 * 1 - softirq
 * 2 - hard interrupt
 * 3 - NMI
 */
static inline int irq_context()
{
	unsigned int pc = preempt_count();
	int rctx = 0;

	if (pc & (NMI_MASK))
		rctx++;
	if (pc & (NMI_MASK | HARDIRQ_MASK))
		rctx++;
	if (pc & (NMI_MASK | HARDIRQ_MASK | SOFTIRQ_OFFSET))
		rctx++;

	return rctx;
}
